Guess the brackish water fish

[sandtiger]

Wow...they need to pick a name and stay with it. For as long as i have been owning convict cichlids I have no idea how many times I have seen the name change for them.

I guess since I am here I will post a fish...have fun. This should be an easy one.

Yeees, I knew you would get it. Finding brackish fish for this is hard, at least for me. All well, I am just happy at least one person got it wrong.

Okay, here is one that is found wild in mainly brackish, often salt, and rarely full fresh water populations but most people keep in full salt tanks, I had no idea that it mainly breeds in brackish estuaries and mangrove swamps, I will accept any of the 58 scientific names that it has been listed under or any of the 25 common names, but I would prefer one of each.

Antennarius striatus
Striated frogfish

Go sandtiger, I figured one easy one deservered another, I nearly hurt myself laughing when I checked for synonyms, man everybody tried to name this thing at one time or another. I liked a local name for it from the caribbean, the HAIRY BIGMOUTH.
Take a shot at the salt water fish after you post a pic.
