Temperate fish of the week!

[droblack]

Grunt sculpin is my fav thus far. All of them are cool. Coldwater tank is truly exotic to us here in South FL.

Fishbase info
Rhamphocottus richardsonii, Grunt sculpin : aquarium

These are cool! I got to see a very pregnant female and lots of fry yesterday on a behind the scenes tour of the Long Beach Aquarium in CA. Do you own these?

 

[AquaticEngineer]

Had one for about a year, been on the lookout for one ever since.

 

[clownfitch]

No tank pictures. Does anyone here have a cold water set up? I'd love to see some pics of one.

One of my favourite temperate fissh is sandagers wrasse that lives in new zealand
(male in the front creamy coloured female at the back, i was swimming with one a couple of days ago



and blue eye triplefins are also a favourite but unfortunately that are like mandarins to keep


heres one of my old ones ( i dont keep them anymore )

 

[AquaticEngineer]

I WOULD KILL PEOPLE to be able to import Triple Fins from New Zealand.

You should petition the government to allow regulated and sustainable ornamental collection and export.

They dont seem to care how many billions of fish people catch, kill, and export for food but heaven forbid you send one alive to go in an aquarium, lol.

awesome fish, so colorful, but no clue where one would start on a coldwater tank
