Myaj has got one. And every time she talks about her, it makes me laugh. It's a fish I really want myself one day. I've been dreaming about it ever since I saw pics of Paris, Myaj's burr.

From what I have heard they are fairly difficult fish to keep in the aquarium. They are difficult to get feeding and they usually have parasite issue but Myaj will be able to give out better info than I can.
