Is that a rainbow fish?
that fish is awesome! Also looks like a cichlid... is it?
Reminds me of the Rainbow Fish books I used to read when I was little :D
Anyone have a picture of a masked glass goby?
Yes, merboy, I think it's a cichlid but I don't know for sure
I was reminded of that book too. I really wanted that picture book when I was growing up!Quote:

Hi Spindrift Mer,
Very cool photo! Did you get my email with the link to my Huffington Post article with my interview with you? I hope you liked it and it's getting picked up all over the Internet on Google! Please keep in touch. Here's that link again:

Yup! I'll send you an email! Thank you so much again!

Amazing, aren't they?
...oh, and spindrift! I loved the octopus (I'm totally ok with other sea creatures being included, after all-- Orion started this as a thread for inspiration). I am planning on posting some non-fish creatures as well... crustaceans, mammals, etc.
And speaking of Octopi... have you seen this before? I just "discovered" it for myself recently-- it's called a blanket octopus... they release long webs of beautiful membrane to frighten off enemies.

The swallowtail bass look so colorful! Thats nuts!
Here's a new one. It's colorful and from the Wrasse family. To be specific, it is a Melanurus Fairy Wrasse.

That's beautiful-- I started collecting Wrasse pics because the entire family is INSANE with color!!
Fresh from the news: Deep-Sea Anglerfish

Attachment 5928 Hare's my betta fish, Andy. I thought I'd share :} I named him after my colorguard director xD

Anyone know what kind of fish that is? I drew up a tail design based off of it.
i tried finding it, but it always just said "pink fish" or whatever, so i didn't find out what it is :(
its beautiful though!
Aww man. ): I was thinking of doing a reverse image search but I don't think that'd work.
It's a purple squarebox anthias fish.
MERMAN AEOLIUS TO THE RESCUE!! lol.
really though, that would make a GORGEOUS tail.
Antias are beautiful fish...
How about the yellow spotted anthias:

The Grunt Sculpin is THE coolest fish, this species found in the pacific northwest :) He moves really neat like too

I guess I should post actual pictures of my babies ^_^
Here they are
This is Tweak, he was an inch long when I got him and when he died he was about 9in long... miss him
He'd give your finger kisses when you'd stick it in the tank, as well as follow you as you walked around the room lol

And this is Yoshi and Spaulding, hilarious little guys. They loved clams on the halfshell ^_^

aeolius, those fish are beautiful! and so bright!
& fresh, your fishies are so cute :3
Aeolius, those fish are super cool! I told my mom about them and now she's gonna buy one for her aquarium. :P
If you cannot buy local, you can try LiveAquaria (I assume she has a saltwater tank). :) They do seem to have some of the regular squarebacks in stock. You'd need a few, as they do best in groups. Get at least one male and one female, as they have different coloration. Oh, and if you get all females, don'tbe surprised if one changes into a male - they're hermaphroditic.Quote:

Yes she has a saltwater tank with clownfish and an anemone and some sort of shrimp. I'm not sure what else is in there, though.
Woah. :O Hahaha that's so cool. **wakes up one morning** "Oh look, Keisha got a sex change!"
You're looking at my peppermint :) I took care of him in quarantine. He's now on display in our Reef Machine exhibit. 1 of 2 captive specimens in the world.Quote:
