Let's play the SW fish ID game

[mauls]

looks like some kind of anthias

prolly way off but im guessing a Mirolabrichthys dispar

 

[guppy]

It is an anthias, a classic one found in the Mediterranean

 

[mauls]

my lfs used to have some and they were jsut labeled anthius anthius, so i dunno what certain kind it is.

 

[guppy]

That is the one! It is the type class for the genus. It is also called the swallowtailed seaperch.
Your turn mauls.

 

[mauls]

ahh gotcha!

Ok this one will prolly be easy, but i can't resisit since its such a beautiful fish!

Oh! Oh!.....I KNOW! A regal angelfish!!!......(I think)
Don't know the scientific name. Yes, very pretty, just as pretty as a flame angel in my opinion

 

[mauls]

yup also know as a royal angelfish. - Pygoplites diacanthus

post a pic!

 

[guppy]

Go for it loach!, By the way, welcome to MFK.

WOW I GOT IT! Glad I came to this thread when there was an easy one to identify. I'm not a SW fish keeper so just about anything beyond a yellow tang would have stumped me. It's 5am right now and just got home from my graveyard shift so I'll post a new fish to identify tomorrow (or technically today). 4 now, must sleep. Thanx for the welcome guppy. btw, a bit odd to have a guppy pic on a monster fish site. Hmmmm I guess they do have moster tails.

Guppies get them all in the end, heheh.
