But I'm dying of envy with the other two, Anoplocapros inermis and Enoplosus armatus, all-time favourites that I never seen in my life!!!

If you ever make it to Australia it would be pretty easy to see Enoplosus armatus! Most of the big facilities like Sydney Aquarium and Melbourne Aquarium have them. A few places in Europe have them too! ZootierlisteHomepage

And I have been in one of the European holders - La Rochelle aquarium - but in 2009 when I visited it they still had not this species.

@Chlidonias thank you!

@Kakapo. At that time I had no idea how rare some of the fishes in Sydney Aquarium were. I've seen the Old Wife since, but it was the only time I've seen Anoplocapros inermis.
