Both great pics, can't wait to see who wins... can someone tell me what kind of fish pic two is of?

It's a chimaera, and as Ming said, possibly a Hydrolagus colliei. Saltwater and a relative of sharks, BTW.

Best regards.

Daniel.

both pics are great. the glare/reflection in pic2 made me go with the SH but still they're both hella sick.

i think its the case with a lot of people. i duno, the glare and that you can see on pic one is a downer, but i think the clarity of the subject matter is a lot clearer. i also prefer whats happening in the pic. just my op.

The fish is a spotted ratfish and it is a marine fish. I took the pic at an aquarium in a very dark room with no lights on the tank. I had to use a flash and that accounts for the glare. The fish is a bottom dweller and does not like alot of light.

Crop the glare out that would have changed my vote
