show me your oddball fish! - Page 2

Generally speaking, yes and no.

IME, the red phase goblins generally remain red, but they do sometimes go a little pink depending on mood. The gray fish you see in the second shot (with the brasiliensis) is a different species (I. japonicus):

The ghoul came in as an almost solid gold color (you can see it on its side by its pectoral), but it lives in a pretty purple tank, so it has taken on coralline colors.

Wow, this is a great thread!

sacremon · 05/10/2012, 04:20 PM

Oddball in the sense that you don't see too many of them, though I will probably need to donate the fish to the public aquarium once it gets to adult size.

Platax orbicularis. Not the best photograph, and it would not stop moving, unlike all the scorps in this thread.

Interesting thread ☺ tagging along and looking into keeping a few wranglers in a 40g setup

ja4207 · 05/14/2012, 06:59 PM

Seriously, WTH is that that?

alprazo · 05/14/2012, 07:36 PM

It looked like an angel in my tank. (little skate)

alprazo · 05/14/2012, 07:43 PM

I've posted this pic before. But this species makes the top ten oddball list of fish every year.

badbrady06 · 05/14/2012, 11:33 PM

Looks like a thornback ray with no wings

Wow what a thread. Please keep the great pics coming.

Monkeyfish nice work with the spotted file. I understand they are tough to keep in captivity

PaulB At first I thought you put a pineapple in your tank. After I heard about the chain I figured anything is possible

Alprazo I am with everyone else, what is that thing???
