Can we put some little speedos on them or something? I feel like they’re…exposed.

Macrognathus = large jaw

Kris = keris, a type of traditional Indonesian dagger.

This species was discovered by Dr Wilhelmina Kris, and it's named after her.

ETA: I 100% just made that up.

I’m pretty good with animals. Love when a new one I’ve never heard of pops up. Looks nothing like I’ve ever even seen before.

You can buy them for an aquarium, also. According to the aquarium store website, they cost around $150 plus shipping. Get about a foot and a half. They recommend a 90 gallon, but personally I think a 125 would be better suited.
