    Cypho, Not Psycho

    Many of the most beautiful fish available to home aquarists have question marks, especially the rarer ones.

    The Big Bower's

    Bower's Parrotfish is also sometimes called just Bower's Parrot and also frequently dubbed the Orange Blotch (or Spot) Parrotfish.

    The Joy of Jawfish

    In Spanish, this fish is called Traganavis Dorado. Which we love because it translates roughly as the golden swallower.

    It's A Moo Point

    Acanthostracion quadricornis is the “Correctly Pronounce a Binomial Nomenclature Challenge” for today. The first bit (Acanthostracion) is Greek and basically means thorny shell. This makes sense as all the fish in this genus have external, rigid, bony armor, composed of oversized scales that...

    The Great Pele (Butterfly)

    We like to (and often do) feature underrated fish here on the website. As a group, marine Butterflyfish are perhaps the most overlooked fish out there.
