Just picked up this beauty tonight. Already forgot the latin (of course). Something with a G--grummartis, grustic...?? JB, help me!! :-D

Anyway, he's settling in quite nicely!

Kinda looks like that annoying guy from star wars.... Jar jar binks or something.

There are no species of fish that are grum- anything. That is a non-existent prefix to a species name.

I swear you're a walking encyclopedia, John. It would be a blast to get you and Bob in the same room together, I can hardly keep up with the man.

Just before seeing that response, that's exactly what my fiance's 8 y/o said to me "that fishy looks like Jar Jar Binks!"

Beautiful shots, I got a lot to figure out with my new cam before I'll even get close!

I tell ya what, I absolutely LOVE my new flash (canon speedlite 550ex). It makes shooting the fish SO much easier!!!

Just send money, Marina :wink: It's an odd obsession and I don't know what to do about it or with it.

I've never formally met Bob, but I've been in his immediate vicinity at MACNAs.
