You do know that that fish is not an actual dolphin rather a mormyid (sp?) right?

 

[MLEgirl]

yeah theres the one that was one discovery planet earth.Now lets get a scientific name for it?

 

[sicxspeed]

Thats not the one that was on Planet Earth. The one on Planet earth does not have a taperd down mouth. This is a different type that most likely feeds on small crustations and inverts.

Actually it is a real dolphin. A mammal. Swear to God.

Dolphin Whale- Petrocephalus bane

they USUALLY don't do well at all in captivity they are hard to get to eat

but when you get one that eats well for you they can get up to 16in. I believe and I do know that they tend to be fairly territorial thats with anyfish not just with other dolphins

and the one in the pic doesn't look good at all I would leave him right where he is
