CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Well I've been gone for a few weeks but I'm back with something new for you guys. I picked up a bunch of new fish on my latest rescue job and I kept a couple of them. This is one of them it's a 12" Dragon fish he's the ugliest fish I own but for some reason I can't part with him. Well hope to hear from you all and tell me what you think. Sorry about the picture quality but, if anybody knows me and my posts it should be expected by now.

The picture is not as bad as the fish!!!

J/K tug......actually looks pretty cool.

wow that is one of the coolest lookin fish that I have ever seen!!!!!!!!! What family is it part of and where can I find reliable info on them

that's one funky looking fish.

Yet somehow... handsome.

A lovely catch indeed

It's called a Violet Goby as well. I just went to my search bar and typed in that name and I got like a dozen sites with information on them. I have to agree with all you guys, as far as the looks go with this guy there aint much to look at. After you watch him a while he reallly does grow on you though. He's a filter feeder becauce of his terrible eye sight, so he swims around gulping at pieces of leftovers (or what he thinks are leftovers, sometimes gravel) and sucking everything around him into his mouth and just hoping there is food in that mouth full. It's very interesting to watch him feed. He also swims awesome, just like a snake. Thanks for the comments guys!:D
