Regular Member sandtiger Posted June 18, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2006 This guy, awsome looking fish. Would love to have him in a tank. I have seen them in person before but only dead preserved specimens. The ones I looked at were interesting, one of them had a barbel on one side of the face (like a carp) and none on the other (like a goldfish). The pictures come from here http://www.tnfish.org/Photogallery/FishGal...ishGallery1.htm Take a look at the site, there are lots of great pictures of native fish and a few invasive as well.

Regular Member wolfsong8 Posted June 18, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2006 Whoa, sweet! Makes sense that they would cross, since goldfish are descended from a carp. Man, seeing all those fish makes me want to go fishing! There were some awesome fish on that sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kissy Posted June 18, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2006 I checked out that link and wow there are some strange fish in this world. I did a report on lamprey a couple years ago and I found them fascinating. I've never heard of a molted sculpin but it is a very interesting-looking fish.

Regular Member sandtiger Posted June 18, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2006 Glad to see you guys enjoying the pictures, we have some truely awsome native fish. Kissy, I actually had a mottled sculpin but she dies because of the overly warm temps. They prefer really cool water. Now whenever I see them in the wild I just let them go. Someday I'll setup a tank in my basement or something and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
