great find at lfs

i found one hell of a find at my lfs. i bought a peppermint hog just cause i thought it looked cool lol and got home looked it up and relized that is a rare fish and some site have it so sale for 150-250 dollar. i had to double check my receipt and make sure i didnt pay some crazy price for it lol i only paid 17.99. i guess they only sale em around christmas so its a hard fish to find. a little info on him. ill try to get some pics up soon of him and the other fish i got on my journey yesterday
