Aquarium fish market adventures!

Cute little purple firefish

Also a cute little dottyback that I think is a strawberry dottyback.

Can you spot the mini lionfish? Hint: it is at the bottom in the middle

Look at this little fish!!! Probably the cutest Lion fish I have ever seen.

Cool seahorses

Two little box fish

A little school of shrimpfish

I don’t even know…

Cool eel

I didn’t forget you this time @AydenLincoln

Quite a big chocolate chip and another starfish of some kind.

I’ll be back again tomorrow because the store that gets the cool fish and small fish (like the sea moth, blue stripe pipefish, small flying gurnards, purple fire fish etc.) so I’ll make sure that I do another update then.

That is a toadfish of the genus Opsanus I believe.

Thanks! The firefish is just behind the last pipefish in the acclimation box

I got there and not everything had been unpacked so here are a few photos of fish already there.

Long ribbon eel

A nice bluespotted ribbon tail ray

And here are some of the cool new things

Beautiful firefish that I was considering buying (See my pico build thread) (@i cant think)

@AydenLincoln not sure what kind these guys are

Impeccable flagtail pipefish

I don’t even know what to say about this. This ornate ghost pipefish is so so cool.

 

[1epauletteshark]

Not too much to see today but here are a few of the cool guys.

Blonde naso tang?

Big pinkbar goby

Another boxfish

I just realized it looks like a rock haha but it’s a puffer of some sort

Nice regal angel

 

[1epauletteshark]

I was back again today to get my new aquarium and there were a few cool little guys, enjoy

Dragon wrasse

Midas blenny

Clown trigger

Not too sure about this guy

Semicircle angelfish

Sailfin snapper

Some sort of parrotfish

Cute little bicolor blennies

I thought this guy was a different environmental variation or something but I think he was just stressed.
I ended up with the smallest of the three bicolor blennies for my aquarium and I love it.

Still stumped on what this guy is

 

[ISpeakForTheSeas]

Not too sure about this guy

Looks like an Epinephelus sp. (a grouper) to me - the ones I know with similar patterns are E. quoyanus, E. faveatus, E. merra, and E. macrospilos.

Still stumped on what this guy is

I'm not sure on this guy - the closest I know at the moment is Ogilbyina novaehollandiae, the multicolor dottyback.

Ah yep, gotta be one of those

It doesn't look to much like a dottyback to be but I don't know, a better photo would have helped.

This is awesome! Wish I had something like this close to me.

quoyi parrotfish!

 

[1epauletteshark]

quoyi parrotfish!

Thanks!

 

[1epauletteshark]

Sorry, not much to see from yesterday (forgot to post it then)

Enormous Exallias brevis

Cool marine beta

A chocolate ship star (I think?) the ones next to it were at least.

 

[Sleeping Giant]

wow, amazing fish. I'd be broke buying a lot of those fish if they were close to me, I'd probably do a 200 gallon tank upgrade just to house them lol
Can't wait to see more

The best thing is, you wouldn’t be broke! Small fish here range from 1-5$ like I got my lawnmower for 1$ and my possum wrasse RIP for 5$

I wish

There is another one now, I have done some investigation into what it could be and the closest thing I could get to was a razor fish of some sort.

Cool red Diana hogfish

I really like these seahorses

This is a really wonderful wonderpus

Some type of cool colorful combtooth blenny

Beautiful anampses

Wow I didn’t realize how blue that was, but here is a big grey unicornfish.

That’s one of my favorite creatures!
Thaumoctopus mimicus I believe!!

Anampses meleagrides. Just got one of those myself

 

[ISpeakForTheSeas]

Looks like it may be the Fivefinger Razorfish - Iniistius pentadactylus.

Based on the pattern having so many spots in addition that honeycomb-esque pattern on the face, this one is most likely Cirripectes stigmaticus - the Ember blenny (though those streaks look a lot less red and lot more brown like you'd find on Cirripectes imitator - the Imitator Blenny - in the pic). The link below has a pic of one that looks very similar.
