cardinalfish

since when are Cardinals an animal
I'll ask the church on that one

Cardinals are birds.

Another name for foxface is badgerfish. Picture!
Sea robins are common in many places. I've caught them where I live. Picture!
Chickenfish are a type of fish that has a sort of gizzard on them, like a chicken. Picture!
And here's a monkeyfish: Picture!

See, I wasn't making it up!

The one that puzzles me is Beluga Sturgeon. I am guessing that the animal in this case is the Beluga Whale, but, unless I am grossly mistaken, beluga is just a Russian word for white.

I think Porcupine Fish has yet to be mentioned. Tiger Shovelnosed Catfish. Dinosaur Eel (Senegal Bichir). Eagle Ray. Arguably, the Prehistoric Monster Fish.

To get any further, I'll have to whip out McLane's New Standard Fishing Encyclopedia.

Yeah tophat, I meant for it to be like the beluga whale. I can remember that one because my friend told me her favorite animal was a beluga whale, and I told her about the beluga sturgeon.

Don't forget the squirrelfish and the oh-so-attractive lizardfish!

Baby Whale/Dolphin. I've never actually seen one but have heard of them several times. It's not the cichlid mentioned above.
Damsel fish (either the damsel in distress, or damsel fly, take your pick)
Black Shark, Red Tailed Black Shark, Rainbow Shark
Bull Shark
Bullhead Catfish
Hognose (possibly the same as a pignose)
Whale Shark

thanks for those pics.
I had a feeling you wernt making it up, but there is always that seed of doubt lurking ready to grow.

great list guys, keep them comming.

FYI the cardinal bird was named after a Cardinal because of its bright colours (gotta love google), but i accept the point.
