Unusual fish

[steelhealr]

Hi....I'm posting this in FW as an interesting post to see how different the animals can be between SW and FW. Both types of animals have some amazing shapes, sizes and characteristics. This is a Banggai (Kaudern's) cardinalfish tanken in my tank tonite. I still keep my 46G BF FW and 10G FW. SH

Agreed mr. miaggi, I have two of those in my 46G FW....beautiful animals indeed. I have a couple more of the banggai I shot, just not as clear. I'll post when I get home from work. SH

They dont come much stranger and interesting than this

The paradise threadfin has modified pectoral fins which it uses to find food like a catfish uses its barbels. They are Amphidromus which means they are found in FW brackish and marine enviroments throughout the year.
