Let's play the SW fish ID game

[loach43]

wow you're right! Today I stopped in at my favorite LFS and saw this guppy ripping the fins off of a large oscar. Glad I had my camera with me to capture this photo as proof or no one would believe me.

Here's a salt water fish to identify (should be easy). A must have for beginners and experts alike just because they are easy to keep and loaded with personality. Hint: common name rhymes with bombslotpenny.

That thing is BAD *** man! Damn.

 

[guppy]

not a twin-spot, they get sort of dull when they get older, they also get big, around 50"s long, here are a couple pics of the same species as it gets older.

 

[guppy]

This guy is found as far west as the red sea and as far north as japan and throughout the indo-pacific. The young ones are fairly common in lfs.

 

[guppy]

It is a wrasse.
