Scutus is correct. I have one in my nano and he's awesome. We found him in a friends tank that was being torn down. The guy never even knew he was in there. They seem to come out at night a lot and cruise for food.

That's exactly what mine does, that's why I got really excited about seeing him during the day and took a picture of him. I wonder where I got him from.
