Fingered Dragonet

I scooped this guy up off Divers Den (first EVER order of fish from them, and I am very happy!)

he is about 7" long!
Then 2 days later they had another that I was pretty sure was a female and managed to scoop her up as well...

she is about 4"
Eating like little pigs! I love all my "misfit" fish!! Just wanted to share these guys with you all. Little prayer and some finger crossing that they continue to do well!! ;Nailbiting

Looked after a pair of those for a few years and they are amazing fish. I remember just how much they could eat, pellets were devoured with gusto. Once they are eating strongly they should do well.

Beautiful!!

Thanks guys! I was super pumped. They do like to eat! I really only do frozen...LRS mixes and PE mysis, and my nori so I am hoping I can keep them fat and happy. They really came very nice from DD. They both ate the day I got them.

Cool fish! They look like Sea Robins that I catch when I go fishing. I'd love to add one to my tank, how big do they get?

They can grow up to 12 inches. Sea robins are really cool when I saw their "fingers" scratching for food!

Very nice... there was one at the lfs last month but I didn't pick it up due to insufficient copepod populations. Pretty rare fish to find if my experience says anything.
