that is the only picture i got of the little guy. swam sort of like a triggerfish. it didn't use its tail fin for propulsion like a normal fish would.

TED....put on a snorkel and mask, you'll be surprised at what else you'll find out there this time of the year....This month will be even better. A lot of (semi) tropical fish move into our waters during the HOT summer...

...but don't be mixing those with any "salt-water" fish tanks you may have running...they have parasites on them that you can't see....but your $80 tank fish....will :rolleyes:

Toby,

baby bunker on the bottom = big fluke

Just found a few LARGE schools of them last night with some fish trying to have them over for dinner.

The bad part was it's under a mile from my house an I can't walk there., it's to damn hot! I had to drive. :D :laughs:


P.S.
Oh yeah,

Bid high on those little green guys.......I'm polishing my sniper rifle now....

That it what they call a butterfly fish. Very popular in home saltwater aquariums. There are all differant types and that is small so I can't tell what type it is.
