I thought that this would be fun, perhaps help our knowledge of fish and researching skills, or, better yet, have someone post a picture if they own the fish and ID it! So, how about some rules of play.
1) Winner gets nothing but satisfaction of their knowledge or ability to research
2) The winner is determined by the first person to post the correct answer.
3) The winner must provide the correct scientific or valid name (you can get from Fishbase) and if you know anything about the fish feel free to write about it and teach everyone.
4) The winner of each round posts the next fish picture to identify and is the judge of the next round (be prepared to know the answer).
5) The fish must be able to survive in salt water (let's not use freshwater fish, not that there's anything wrong with them, but this way we can stay on topic).
6) The fish must be one that can be kept in a marine aquarium, hobby size, not Marineland, for example (no whale sharks, LOL)
I'm going to start it off with this fish. It was one of the very first fish that I had purchased 30 years ago. I didn't know much about the hobby and as it turns out my system wasn't right for this guy. Knowing what I know now, I would be able to keep it alive a lot longer.
Now, unless someone takes over for me, I'm going out of town for 4 days beginning tomorrow night and won't be able to check back until I return (no net access). If someone answers correctly tonight or tomorrow then I'll be able to confirm.
Let's have some fun!
