Good job. I think that's one of the best names I ever came up with for a fish species. Your turn to post now dalto.

Is tony gone

 

[Tony Gill]

Oh, sorry, I just took a guess at the generic name. I figured someone else would pursue it further and work out the species. Presumably it B. dicentrarchus or an undescribed species. If Gillie is happy with that, I'll post something.

[Gillie]

Dicentrarchus is correct

Sorry about the delay in posting one. Here you go

Is it a dottyback

 

[Tony Gill]

No - it's not from a family I work on. It sometimes turns up in aquarium stores, and is usually identified to the incorrect family. It came up a few years back as a marine fish identification enquiry on Aquarium Advice. I had a lot of trouble convincing anyone of the identification!

 

[dalto]

Lepidozygus tapeinosoma?

 

[Tony Gill]

Yes, good job dalto. It's a damselfish (Pomacentridae), but is usually misidentified as a Pseudanthias (Serranidae). The species is a plankton picker that schools with Pseudanthias species. The coloration is highly variable, and usually matches the species of Pseudanthias it's schooling with.

Your turn dalto.

 

[dalto]

OK, lets try this one....

 

[Fishobsessed7]

Is it an apisto

 

[dalto]

It is an apisto. Which one is the hard part.
