MUDSKIPPERS!!! hehehe....
the blue mudskipper is really neat!
"Silence is beautiful, not awkward. The human tendency to be afraid of something beautiful is awkward."
I used to see mudskipper gobies in the mangroves where I used to live in FL. They were always so cute!!
I wanted em as pets!
ooh...now i want something canary yellow and bright blue...
Canary Yellow and bright blue?! hmmmm... toughie. you have something in mind?
Like angel fish?
Juvenile queen Angelfish
Look at all of them!
"It's a brood! More than 80 weedy sea dragon babies have now hatched and are being cared for behind the scenes. The father, who carried the eggs in a brood pouch under his tail, has been delivering the young in a sea dragon display that’s part of our special exhibition, “The Secret Lives of Seahorses.” " - MBA

That's friggin AWESOME! And they look like amazing little dragons! I LOVE EM!! So COOL. You know, in honor of them, I want to bring up the next fish-a-day as the seahorse (I know the leafy seadragon has already been done, but I thought it'd be nice to do a bunch of different ones-- from the pygmy seahorse to the carribbean with all it's color variants!)
They're amazing! And they're communal animals... they get depressed if alone
they are all so beautiful! I want to make tails inspired by them!! *scrambles around house for paper and colored pencils* LOL
"Silence is beautiful, not awkward. The human tendency to be afraid of something beautiful is awkward."
Oh ! they are fabulous ! I love seahorses
One day, during a dive one of them was wound around my finger, it was so cute!
AWWW! How adorable is that!? <3
"Silence is beautiful, not awkward. The human tendency to be afraid of something beautiful is awkward."
i hear that they have a sensor at the tip of their tail that involuntarily wraps around anything they touch... I think that's cute. It's like "oh poop! Darn it.. I can't get my silly tail to let go!!"
It's not involuntary, I work with H. reidi and H. hilonis. You can coax them to grab on, but they don't have to.
I saw these guys the other night at Sea World San Diego and was instantly in love. They are called Blue Striped Snappers and they're one of my favorites.

Coradion-- Cool! Didn't know that. What do you do "working with them?" Like in an aquarium? Or scientific fashion?
Ok... here's my next fish-- I just discovered it... I think it's so striking!
It's the Peppermint Angelfish!
The C. Frontosa

Hey Abby-- great fish! It looks like a ciclid to me... do you know what it's called?
I also wanted to put this next angelfish that I discovered up on here!
It's so fun and sleek looking!
It's the Masked Angelfish
It's cool that the male and female look so different!
Not exactly a fish, but while I was on vacation at Topsail Beach in NC I found a piece of sargassum with a small warty sea anemone, about the diameter of a quarter, attached it it. In the process of showing it to my kids, the anemone decided that my hand was a far better anchor. It stayed attached to my hand for around half an hour, before I coaxed it to let go.

Behold the biggest inspiration behind my up and coming tail, the Sailfish:
Oooh . I cannot wait to see the designs for this tail!
