Hiya Skinny, that is the one, If I ever get around to doing a nano reef I am thinking either that as a starter fish or one of the cardinals.
I have a feeling I know what your fish is but I have to let the niece use the computer for an couple hours, I'll check it then.

no problem guppy, the hectroi goby are great and they munch down hair algae like nothing..hehehe.. I have a lot more knowledge toward saltwater and corals.. I am just getting back to freshwater and i must say, this site rocks! I am learning ne things everyday and seeing new freshwater fish that i have never seen before.

a hint - the fish above is the drawf version of its sister specie

Well, I am back, beforeI go looking my first impression is a hairy frogfish

 

[skinnychinaman]

nope.. hehehe..

 

[guppy]

I think it is the Striated or hairy frogfish (Antennarius striatus), possibly a subspecies from the Lambeh Strait.

 

[skinnychinaman]

nope.. heheh.. another clue.. they are scorpion fish, now you just have to guess the first name.. its a location...
ahhh.. i am giving too much clues..

 

[guppy]

Okay, sorpinidae here I come.

I have never even seen a picture of these before but I am guessing Ambon scorpionfish, (Pteroidichthys ambonensis)
