Liopropoma

I will add this to the thread. Unfortunately, an angler ate the fish after it jumped into a nearby tank :roll: Hopefully I can obtain another.

So that kind of stuff does happen I had a L.carmabi which was purchased from a mail order dealer who claimed it had jumped into a neighboring pen and was eaten by a frogfish. I was pretty skeptical at the time

Yes, unfortunately. At least this one was not an expensive meal...I'd never seen this fish before - hopefully it won't be the last.

The susumi on the first page at a Dracula goby...that was not a cheap snack :x

Exactly which species of Liopropoma is pictured by Plantastic?

I saw one a while back in the on-line magazine refered to as a Pacific Candy Basslet. When I have looked on-line to aquire this fish for myself I keep coming across L. Swalesi listed as the Pacific Candy Basslet, but the photos are of a much plainer looking fish - just red/white stripes.

Thanks,

It's the Atlantic Candy Bass. L. carmabi.
