Oddballs From Our Neighbors South Of The Border

The fifth one down looks like the Emperor cichlid??? What up with that?

I actually thought members might hit on the resemblance to the mangrove jack. Both are of the genus Lutjanus.

BALLYHOO!

I think the beak fish with their beaks on the bottom are ballyhoo. I don't know if they are one species or just a generic body format, but they are a pretty common appearance in SW even up to North Carolina and a great baitfish. Is this the same fish, just adapted to light brackish?

BTW, the cave fish are really neat. If you ever get a chance to see the cenotes (mexican sinkhole caves), they are amazing.

I provided the generic name so, you can get all your own expanded answers through googling them.

Folks, this is simply a presentation of little known oddball fish. I do not have any of these for sale.
