Iding Weird Fish From Around The World

[puffin3]

I thought it might be fun trying to ID weird fish species from around the world. I know this is only a drawing but does anyone know what type of fish this is?
I'd like to have other photos and or even drawings of fish we could try to ID.
Just a suggestion.

looks like some sort of gobby

Sorry, it's not a gobby.

id go with a mud skipper

I second the mudskipper vote

 

[andywg]

I am thinking it is possibly something of the Family Microesmidae, maybe Nemateleotris sp?

Though I am far from overly confident on that.

some sort of blenny?

Mandarine of some sort? Shooting into the dark here.

Im going with that it's some sort of blenny.... I would of thought a mudskipper's head would be more upright... could be and most likely am wrong!


2 more to 1000!!!

It's a 'Sailfin Sculpin' (Nautichthys oculofasciatus)
I've got an old book titled 'Field Guide to the Fish of Puget Sound and the Northwest Coast'.
If anyone wants to see more 'weird fish photos' I'm happy to put them up.

that wasn't fair. in the black and white picture, the fin goes all the way to the tail in one where as the real picture shows the fin in two parts.
i don't mean that big fin though

 

[mark7616]

Like you would of got it anyways.

 

[puffin3]

Look at the photo carefully. You'll see part of the dorsal fin 'bent over' but still continuing to the tail.

okay on this other forum that i used to go on (this one is way better), we played a game where you posted a pic of a fish and then another member had to guess what it was. if they got it right then they posted the next pic, and it goes on and on. do you guys want to play that?
