Help ID this fish

I agree with phoenix. Definitely a dragonet.

BTW I wouldn't freak out over it starving. You have a huge tank, a fuge, and seem to be very diligent in dosing pods (make sure you dose the fuge so it can start producing them quicker). It is a cool looking fish. Just beware that you don't buy any fish that would compete for the same food (i.e. another dragonet, scooter blenny, even anthias are competitors)

Good luck.

 

But why in the hell would you buy a fish and not know what it is>?

 

I know that was stupid. I still trust the LFS owner and he said it was a blenny, was eating and he looked so ugly it was cool I just made the leap. I do know better then that but.....

 

I'm pretty sure we've all bought something that we didn't know exactly what it was or how to take care of it at one point, hell we all started this hobby with none or nearly no experience at one point right?

Best of luck on the new fish it's a cool looking guy

 

basically thats how you learn, Its kind of like getting that first job, you don't know shirt on your first day but by the time you leave you know it all (almost)

good luck hope it does well.

 

How's she doing today schackmel? (assuming she's a girl)

 

She is doing well...it is so funny she sleeps under the sand and all you see are these eyes moving. She will then start walking and will walk under the sand...just these eyes moving across tank...then here she come out. She will put that fin up right before she comes out, and reminds me of Jaws....

thanks again everyone for the responses;D

 

Just like a scooter blenny!

 

where did you get that fish from lfs or online

 

Just an FYI, dragonettes don't eat algae so you might be seeing it picking pods off the glass if it is in fact a dragonette.
