LOL you guys are too funny.

Heres a fact:
This species is an egg burier, and leaves its eggs in semi moist peat for 6-8 weeks. Hatching is activated by immersing in water.

Some sort of sicklid? My best guess

Close, it is a type of cichlid

 

[George9]

This is a hard one....my best guess would be Nimbochromis venustus, only because i have no clue!!

 

[HN1]

Julidochromis. Transcriptus I think, but they vary a lot.

*Egg bearer.

Both super close. It is a Julidochromis marlieri

A cool fact about these guys are that when it lays eggs it does so on a cave roof. Very secretively as well.

Well heres the next one



Edit: going to bed, will continue in the morning

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Yellow head jawfish?

 

[SushiLuckyFin]

Some sort of sicklid? My best guess

Oh... is that how you pronounce it I never knew lol

Fun game, and great for us to learn stuff. I only know fancy goldfish types lol

Yellow head jawfish?

Yuppers! This is fun!:

Here is the fact: these cute little guys only get up to around 4 inches! They are mouth brooders and one of he pair golds the eggs in its mouth. The eggs don't only fill the oral cavity they protrude some way out of its mouth!

Ya I know but I was to lazy to go back and fix it hahahaha

 

[Bubbles0oO]

Haha its ok,

Any guesses on what it is?

 

[needmorecowbell]

Batfish. Very hard to keep in captivity.

 

[Bubbles0oO]

Good job! I though i had stumped you with that one.


The batfish are often referred to as the "Discus of the Sea"

Heres the next one

 

[sally pu]

What happened to giving info on SW or FW....I am learning a lot I just wish I didn't have to look each one up afterwards to find out its natural habitat.

This is very informative and a great idea to help semi-noobs like myself learn some interesting facts about some other than well-known species! Keep it up! I will constantly be checking this thread for more info!
