Identityof wild caught (and released) fish?
Is this a banjo catfish? We caught it while fishing in the Gulf a few months ago. It was taken with a camera phone, so I apologize for the quality. It was about 8 inches long.

Not a banjo, don't think it's even a catfish.
I'd try the salt water boards ...

Oh, wow. Cool. We tried to get it to spread it's "wings", but couldn't for the picture and didn't want to hurt it or keep it out longer than necessary for a quick shot.
I didn't know if it was salt or fresh or brackish, because where we were fishing that day was right where a very large freshwater river (Pearl River) empties into the Gulf.
Someone my husband works with told him they thought it was a banjo catfish. I hadn't a clue. Thanks. That definitely looks like the little critter.

Re: Identityof wild caught (and released) fish?
ahh, the good ol' sea robin. catch em all the time in new england (where i am). they're awesome fish. I kept a small one in an aquarium before and it was a voracious eater. very cool.
they also make croaking or barking sounds when they get upset and are out of water.
oh and btw...i dont think they're ugly

Re: Identityof wild caught (and released) fish?
Looks like a kind of gurnard. Kind of freaky eeh?

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).
I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
