Fish ID for Tiny Angelfish From Florida?

[albano]

I'd love to learn a little more about it. Articles?

:thumbsup: excellent idea...BEFORE taking anything new, home!

I wish I could research all possible fish species that I would find. I usually only collect the species I know, but I couldn't pass up this little guy. Next time I'll go more prepared.

Those are a great idea, I doubt they would have blennies and gobies though. They need to make a "florida seagrass beds" version.

Yeah, I don't understand why they don't...maybe they think people don't snorkel in Florida LOL.

Where did you go snorkeling, I'm always looking for good places here in the panhandle.

By the way I've seen them before and I tried to raise one years ago, didn't go to well. I see them when going off shore and I know they eat jellyfish. I've also got them in my cast net when I was stationed over in Cocoa Beach.

I didn't snorkel this trip. I was using a scoop net at low tide in St. Teresa. But one of my favorite places to snorkel is St. Andrews State Park in Panama City. The jetties are a great place to snorkel, and the bay is also a good spot. The fish is doing fine, eating mysis like a pig. I've also read that they eat jellyfish. Probably the comb jellyfish that are so prevalent here.

I'd be looking for baby jellies to feed him

What for? He seems to be doing well on the mysis for now.
