Crazy looking blenny

[ironwill723]

Wet Pets has blennies with a needle nose. They have them listed for 31.99 as "Jet Blennies". Anyone ever have one of these? They were crazy looking.

hmm...nobody ehh? TJ (Tswifty) this fish is right up your alley. Might want to check them out for your tank.

 

[Tswifty]

Haha... I'll have to check them out, never heard of them.

 

[Tswifty]

This guy by chance?

It definitely sounds like you're describing one of the "Sabre-Toothed Blennies"

I have never seen these before. Not close to any of those pictures either. These looked like a cross between a lawn mower blenny and a copper banded butterfly fish. The fish was a brownish color with a snout like a CBB. Hopped along the bottom of the sand. They (WetPets) said they had never seen them before this shipment.

I have been searching for a picture of them as well.

this picture is getting closer to what it looks like with the snout. Body still looks more like a lawn mower blenny as opposed to this one.

I wonder if it could have been some type of wrongly identified Bird Wrasse.

Now I'm going to have to make a drive out there. :lol:

That last pic looked a little like a longnosed hawk....

It has to be some type of dragonet after looking at some more pictures online of other types. Definitely didn't look like a wrasse to me. They had three in the tank and they all were about 1"-1.5", very dark in color, sort of scaly in appearance.

sounds interesting. if you find out what it is or see it at the store again, snap a pic!
