Ah, hermit might be okay. There have been a lot of accounts of hermits adapting to brackish systems.

And the sub thing...ha classic.

Fishboy93 · 02-04-2006, 09:27 PM

New Species ID it plz... some sort of killi maybe....diamond?? found near the collection site that i got pics of... seemed to hug on to a big rock and not leave it...

PS- My brother cares for the BW tank so any further qs or comments should be addressed to k-dawg- his account.. have fun with his nooblish ness....

flamingo · 02-04-2006, 10:09 PM

lol kk, have no idea what that fish is.

k-dawg- · 02-04-2006, 10:32 PM

here are some pics of the nearly completed tank

i think they turned out pretty good considering im not an expert photographer and the tank is the garage which doesn't exactly have the best lighting

**TheOldSalt** · 02-05-2006, 09:11 AM

Hey, that's a nice find. Nope, not a diamond Killie, but a Rainwater Killie, Lucania parva.

Fishboy93 · 02-05-2006, 09:42 AM

Cool now we have something at least somewhat harder to find... check ur pms TOS im not done yet lol...if i have time me and my bro might go out on our boat and go collecting....

Fishboy93 · 02-06-2006, 05:21 PM

Well me and my bro found an old seine net that was in good condition and tried it out... all we got were like 10 of these glass minnow type of things.... and i also caught some sort of sucker fish thats like 1/4 of an inch lol..

Scuba Kid · 02-06-2006, 05:32 PM

Fishboy93 · 02-06-2006, 05:53 PM

Fishboy93 · 02-11-2006, 09:53 AM

Sounds like a clingfish (also called skilletfish) - I used to collect them once in a while in the Indian River Lagoon - very cool (I'd love to have one now, but I never see them in stores, of course).

Fishboy93 · 02-14-2006, 03:13 PM

hmmm that might be it but it was so tiny it hadnt had any color on it so unless i find it its prolly gonna be un-identfiable...

Fishboy93 · 02-16-2006, 07:32 PM

Alright i just sorta want all you native enthusiasts to go up to the Exotic pics and want to make sure its a Mayan Cichlid or what? The reason is because i have to do science project on the affects of exotic species on native ecosystems... so plz help me out.

flamingo · 02-18-2006, 07:52 PM

Doesn't look like a mayan cichlid to me....

It still looks like a type of chromide to me.

**TheOldSalt** · 02-19-2006, 08:12 AM

That pic that flamingonhot provided is a Mayan. They do look different at different sizes & times, though.

flamingo · 02-19-2006, 04:39 PM

Maybe lol. I have never heard of mayan cichlids before, i just googled mayan cichlid under images and kept getting that lol.

I looked around to see what it might be but no luck, one moment it looks like this cichlid, than it doesn't, and just a lot of stuff lol. I just searched for chromide and got something that looks somewhat close to them.

Fishboy93 · 02-19-2006, 09:58 PM

Hey all back from the keys lots o fun but didnt collect anything.....

The fish are odd as every day the color in them is different and that is what is confusing me.. hmmm maybe i should take one to my lfs and see if he knows..o yeah flamingonhot there were some awesome seahorses in a 40gal SW tank down in the keys at a store

Fishboy93 · 02-22-2006, 04:59 PM

i think that the rainwater killies are actually BANDED TOPMINNOW (FUNDULUS CINGULATUS) TOS any comments??

flamingo · 02-24-2006, 06:48 PM

Still want my darn seahorses 9woul dof used a different thing but darn but word filter lmao).
