Who has the coolest fish?

[Pazzoman]

Hey Everyone,

Looking to see what kinds of oddball fish are out there as those are the ones I best like lol.Would love to get an octopus of some kind however not sure where to get one as most places mislabel them. I will contact maxreefs for some info as they are my lfs most likely for the carribean species.

Any other cool fish out there (even tho octopus aren't fish)?? Like sea robins and walking batfish lol

Used to have a lookdown and a windowpane flounder they were both cool fish. I think the coolest ever are garden eels but I've never had on only seen them. I dont think anything is cooler than a group of them bobbing

I will take a look at the username's posted,


Cmantis for some reason I can't see your picture anyone else having a problem?

I will see if I can go by max reefs tomorrow, don't have a tank set up yet but just want to see what kind they get in and cost.

Lfsmarineguy cuddle fish defiantly are so cool! However never seen them in stores and don't really know much about them. Do you know the name of the specie's in the video?

Thanks for all your help, keep post in lol as I google the fish mentioned!

Sepia bandensis. They're dwarf cuttles and they're being bred here on the island by Laura at ReefGen. They require live food, just a couple ghost/grass shrimp a day, otherwise they're actually really easy and hardy. Super smart too, you can see them trying to figure things out. I doubt most stores would carry them but if you're actually interested I can point you in the right direction.

Octopus are escape artists...you must have a secure top on your tank ... and it will probably still get out!

 

[Pazzoman]

Hey lfsmarineguy, I may not be ready for one yet but I would like to research them to add them to the possibility list. Name defiantly help also like you mentioned a resource would be great for me to get in touch for more information.

Also anyone know how to see a members posts? Sounds stalkish lol but wanted to check out some of the members listed to see if they have a page or something that has what they have in there tanks.

I understand, if I was to do an octopus defiantly would go out and customize a lid out of acrylic and add clamps on all four sides lol seen crazy vids of them escaping!

Did you see the one with the octopus leaving his tank every night, crawling across the floor to another tank, catching and eating a fish, and then returning to his own tank!

I heard about that I just can't find a video if there is one. That is defiantly incredible!
Do you know if there is a video?
