Eye candy of the day!!

I was just bored here waiting for hurricane Wilma to rip us a new hole, so I figured I would take a couple of shots. Wilma is going so slow you could probably out run it by foot!! Resizing, adjusting, uploading, and later posting is an energy consuming task, so I am only posting a couple of them.

Do you think I ate a little too much??

Everytime someone walks by the tank they think it is food time:

No offense anyone named like him, but this little guy is my wife's favorite and she calls him George

Cool pics. My wife says the last one looks like a frog in a blender. What is the name of that?

It is commonly known as an angler fish (Antennarius commersoni) from the Indo-Pacific. No uncommon at all, but they come in so many colors ranging from black to white and red or yellow in beween. I find them to be very cool fish.

Cool thanks! I'll go look them up now

(Antennarius commersoni) George!

Very nice shots Alberto! Do you keep your angler in a species tank? Don't they have quite a apatite? I also love the Anthias can you pass on what kind they are, I think they look like Bartlett's Anthias??? Thanks again for posting the shots...Jeff

What do you feed the angler? Feeder fish/silversides, something like that? Just curious. Cool fish.

Raw shrimp pieces on a feeding stick.
