fish id please

two hitch hiker fish from some rubbles collected from the local beach. not sure what it is. it is in the display and i cant catch it or get a better picture of it. it hides in rocks and small holes of rocks and comes out to pick at whatever is on the rocks. it also eats cyano which were dying.

looks like some kind of goby, picture is a litte unclear. By no means am i an expert but, my guess would be some kind of little goby.

I would have guessed a blenny. It's tough to tell with out a full shot of the fish

 

[jimlin]

well, the body resembles a eel if that helps. top and bottom fin goes almost all the way to the back and it sometimes look like it is crawling on the rocks.

another pic if that helps.

Definitely a blenny, not sure what type

 

[jimlin]

cool, a good start. hopefully it will look better when it gets bigger. wife said it is one of ugliest fish she seen in a long time.

What state and body of water? Looks a bit like a young Molly miller.

Where did you collect the fish? My guess would be an Omobranchus zebra.

Salarias fasciatus??? Lawnmower? looks a little light in color but looks like it to me. mine is awesome and really keeps most algae down to a minimum

I wondered if it's a lawnmower blenny too. Nice surprise, these fish have a ton of personality!!

that's awesome! imo, your wife is right, but if it grows up & acts like mine had, it's going to be a truly friendly fish - like a puppy. Plus who can resist a fish w/ eyebrows???
