Let's play the SW fish ID game

It's an underwater shot. The red is skin coloration. The black smudge in front of its abdomen is something floating near it.

I just meant the body angle, that three quarter overhead is a bummer. I still haven't had a chance to dig yet but If you can find a shot straight on from the side it would help.

 

[Oddball]

Maybe I'll look for a different angle shot and maybe I won't. This is the longest one of my pics has lasted. It's kinda cool.

LOL

Just to show I'm looking and that I don't even know the family (yet) is it one of the greeneyes (family Chloropthalmidae)?

 

[guppy]

Okay, i'm getting closer but from the angle I can't see it's chin, I'm torn between one of the sillaginidae and one of the mullidae.

 

[Oddball]

Sorry, you're getting colder.

Cmon, give me a decent picture to work on, I've only got something like 28,500 fish to choose from, or give me the family, or maybe the area it is found in.

 

[Oddball]

Just because you don't recognize the hints doesn't mean I haven't been leaving them.

Here are a couple more pics of this species. The one on the left shows an adult (NOTE: the orange blotches are parasites). The right pic displays a juvie.

Much better pics but unless you know some where that guy is sold in the pet trade it is against the rules, Mackerel icefish, (Champsocephalus gunnari).
Here is the picture and a picture of the guy who took it in Antartica.
My turn I believe.
