Neat little fish

[dixaisy930]

I really need some help....can anyone tell what this fish is? It's about an inch long, and has a very peaceful (and shy) disposition.

And here's another pic of the mystery fish...

Looks like a dwarf puffer....

 

[dixaisy930]

Nope...sorry. I have two of those already and they look nothing like this little guy.

 

[Auratus]

I just went by the spots and you said he was an inch... I dunno.


Never seen a fish like that. I saw your post in the chit chat forum but nothing rang a bell. Hopefully someone id's him for you

AAAARGGGGHHH!!! I've SEEN that fish before! I KNOW I have!!! Grr.... this is gonna drive me crazy. *goes on a rampage to find fish ID*... I will succeed!

Muahhahaha....

Unless someone else is smart first.


Edit: Forgot to ask - where does he hang out? Top, bottom? It may say in your other post, but I'm pretty lazy..

That pic is hard to see. Could it be some kind of Goby?

 

[iloveyou]

i was thinking goby all the time too... i have a feeling thats what it is

 

[White Whale]

It's a chicken. *bok bok!*

 

[dixaisy930]

Yeah, I know, but it's the best I can do..I'm into fish, not photography...

No...not a goby...completely different body shape. Resembles the shape of a platy more than a goby.

He hangs out at all levels of the water.

Maybe its some kind of molly

This one kind of reminds me of the one in your pic. It's a crested Goby.

West African Sleeper Goby.
