Can We play Again?? Fish ID game???

[joetbs]

nope

 

[glassbox-design]

Wooo pretty!! I love how red it is. I am still dying to know if I got the other one right.

Nope, not yet Here's a hint--it is not in the Pseudanthias genus.

 

[ShrimpChipGal]

Joetbs, could it possibly be Pseudanthias Hiva?

Thanks for getting back to me, Eric. Now I can keep looking. hehe.

 

[joetbs]

no, but it is similar. this fish mimics P. pictilis in the South Pacific.

 

[itachi]

Pseudanthias charleneae ?

 

[Luiz Rocha]

My guesses:

Joe's: Pseudanthias engelhardi
Eric's: Rabaulichthys altipinnis

 

[joetbs]

you guys are close to mine & you're in the right genus on Eric's, though i'm not sure you could actually get much closer to his..

mine should be living with Whale Sharks down in Georgia (hint)

 

[joetbs]

here's a pic of Eric's in the wild

 

[ShrimpChipGal]

Rabaulichthys stigmaticus on Eric's?
Ohhh yours is a Pseudanthias bimaculatus. Wow I didn't know they look that red. The ones I have seen have more of a yellow speckle to it and pink hue.

Since we have no response. I will start the ball rolling again. We'll make it an easy one. T

Plectranthias pelicieri

 

[myerst2]

Indeeed Kevin. One of my dream fish. Any chance of seeing one of those on DD?

 

[DFS]

We can only hope to see some of these incredible fishes as they are extremely rare in the trade, but will keep trying.

Next on the block:

No but close, Hint- This fish has two distinct characteristic that differentiates it from other similar species.

 

[JHemdal]

It looks a bit like an A. nummifer, but the stripes around the eye seem wrong.....

Since we have no response. I will start the ball rolling again. We'll make it an easy one. T

Sorry I was waiting for confirmation on them and thought maybe everyone lost interest already.

 

[myerst2]

pictus?

 

[DFS]

This relatively uncommon Frogfish (in the aquarium trade) is not Anetennarius nummifer either.

Another Hint: To the best of my knowledge its the only species of Frogfish that has whisker like appendages that protrude from its chin below the lower jaw.
