Anybody else have one?? (Leaffish)

[gman0526]

I got this little fellow abot 3 wks ago (it was in the store about a mo.), I read they're kind of hard to keep and train to feed non-live food, but so far it's been doing really good and eating my home made-mush as well as spectrum pellets. Anybody else care to share pics of these awesome fish?

As far as the picture goes, I'm sorry the tank glass was dirty and i might have overdone the sharpening in post-processing. :mad2: Any comments as well are more than welcome.

Well, good news and bad news. Bad news is it isn't a leaffish, good news is it is a Cockatoo Waspfish. I have a leaffish and here are some photos:

Ironic thing is I have been dying to find an awesome Cockatoo Waspfish [Ablabys taenianotus]. Here is a link to some more info on them: http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=10232

Nice fish, only a few people seem to keep and appreciate this awesome genus of fish. They are literally like little dogs. They come crawling to the front glass whenever they see you waiting to be fed.
