poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	They were in the aquarium. Go past the penguins, thru the 850,000g shark/ray tank, and go around the turn to the right. There's the little area with a bunch of small tanks (10-30g or something) The Rhinopias was to the left of the stonefish I believe...on the top row...I think... it was in that area. The frog and toadfish are in there too

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	How much was the Rhinopias? Because of their rarity, you got a treat just to be able to see one in person; I'm very jealous! I haven't ever seen one in person and I hope to some day... And they're the coolest fish I've ever seen too. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	Today I saw BOTH Frogfish AND Toadfish!!! The toadfish was really scary and he was on a tank down on the floor, so I couldn't see him too well and I didn't watch him much...but the frogfish was really cool and I watched him for a while Yep, they are 2 different fish. The frogfish was yellow...about 3 inches BTW Shini I saw a Rhinopias (SP?) today too. His eyes were absolutely stunning...his pupils were like concave mirrors inside his head...it was the coolest fish I have ever seen

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	Freshwater Lionfish are brackish TOADfish. Toadfish are from a whole 'nother Order. Close, but not right. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

TheGoldenDojo Fish Addict Posts: 575 Kudos: 559 Votes: 8 Registered: 04-Apr-2004	So-called freshwater Lionfish are a brackish frogfish that grows to 10", are they not? I read that somewhere, I don't remember where.

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	Though some Frogfish can get nearly a foot, quite a few stay small; only around 3". -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	Perky, at least most Frogfish don't need a huge tank since they're not only small, but don't move around a lot. Cool little guys. Related to Anglers, if I'm not mistaken. I'll stick with my Rhinopias, though!
