Please ID Fish

[Chicxulub]

I used to catch those things all the time when I was growing up in north Florida. I even caught a couple with red fins like that. I put one in a fish tank that I had about twenty years ago and it ended up eating all of my mom's angelfish so I had to get rid of it. It was a fun little fish, though as implied I didn't succeed back then in getting it to eat anything but angelfish.

Very unfussy. Pellets of all manner, fleshy aquatic/sea foods all were accepted eagerly. Since yours is wild-caught, it may be picky at the beginning because of the adjustment period and because of the diet change but a short fast of less than a week is usually enough. He will learn his new foods. If you plan to keep him, I'd recommend to get him through anti-parasitic treatments, both external and internal.

I had driven through CT a few times on fish pick-up trips when I ran a large-fish rescue in Rochester, NY. We moved 2 years ago to FL to open a small Public Aquarium and Fish Rescue Center.
