I have never failed in a fish ID test me if you want

[William Chiavetta]

Another easy but oh so cool one.

larval tang i think orangeband

 

[toi_ss]

A very pretty redshoulder wrasse

yes sir, getting one for my new tank. Planning on feeding once an hour. I hate how all the cool fish are also the most expensive/difficult ones.

 

[VintageReefer]

I found some good deals on dolphin fish online if you're serious

I have no idea what they need

OMG FRRR

 

[SnazzyUrchin792]

None of these are terribly difficult… sorry for the last one being blurry, he doesn’t like to stay still.

Blue but again so cute

 

[stewy14]

I give up

it is a briggs orca, a new type that was only discovered 2 weeks ago or something like that

1. a black saddle toby
2. A whitebarred goby
3. some clownfish I can't see
4. again can't see but looks like some sort of chromis

I'll kick things off. Here's a pic of my H. Chrysus. What is its name (hints below picture)?

Hint: After successful QT for a few weeks, I introduced it to display tank and it disappeared into the sand in less than a minute. I did not see the fish again for seven days. I was *incredibly* relieved to see him, only to have him go into the sand and not be seen again for six days. I was super-incredibly relieved to see hm only to have him go AWOL for another eight days. He was given a fitting name after seemingly rising from the dead (multiple times). Can you (or anyone) ID him?

Lazarus

 

[drolmaeye]

Lazarus

Yes! His name is Lazarus. These days he's like clockwork; buries himself around 6:30 in the evening and he's out every morning by the time I go downstairs to feed everybody. But my faith seriously wavered those first four weeks in the DT.

 

[MnFish1]

Nope

Looks like it could be a Southern Resident Killer whale from near Washington State

Do you mean 'Biggs'? Named after Michael Biggs - who studied various populations of orca in the Pacific NW? They (contrary to others who eat only salmon) - eat marine mammals. Formerly called 'Transient' killer whales - it seems like they have a more defined living boundary

Never heard it called a whitebarred goby before, but after a quick google search, that is correct. The clownfish is a black ice snowflake, and the last one is a pink smoth damselfish.

 

[BZOFIQ]

That is a lure fish

nailed it! You're a savage!

 

[BZOFIQ]

Not a fish but what do you think?

water spots?

 

[MoshJosh]

wait these are tiger shovelnose redtail catfish hybrid. Doesn't paul sell these? I'm really good friends with Paul

You got it! Though a hybrid might trip you up but you got it!

Picture is from Predatory Fins!
