Hippocampus sp. |

Plotosus lineatus. |
|
(Stripped Marine Catfish). Shortly after this picture was taken I had to find a new home for these as they suddenly began to attack each other and all the other occupants. I discovered a while later that they would have spawned if left a while longer as an article appeared in an aquarium magazine discribing the first reported breeding of this species. Typical. |
