Whale Fish

[RopefishManiac]

I've heard about these fish. They're called Whale Fish. Has anyone head of them? I guess they're pretty rare. Can someone give me a good picture or two of one? It would be greatly appreciated.

Are you talking about Whale Catfish. Smallish blue with small eyes and round nose

Nope, i think they are referring to Pollimyrus castelnaui

It could be any of the fish mentioned above. I'm not sure. Any pictures of something related to "whale fish" is fine.

Although I think it is the Pollimyrus castelnaui but any fish related to whale fish or anything like that I'd like to see.

Why do they call it a baby whale? It dosent look like anything close to a whale. Looks more like a shorter version of a silverdollar.

The other possibility, as mentioned above, is the catfish from the Cetopsidae family -- Cetopsis coecutiens. I've never kept them, but they are really cool looking catfish.

Is it related to the elephantnose? I could be wrong, but I always thought they were an elephantnose without the nose. Not rare, just an oddball.

yeah, i totally don't see the "silver dollar" resemblance at all. but then again, that's not a very clear picture if you've never seen one in real life before.
