Wow I have absolutely no idea what that is, looks almost like a marine plecostomus.

@evolved @eatbreakfast @Lionfish Lair any of you have any idea?

I was going to say a monkfish.

 

[GOSKN5]

Yeah, it's a clingfish. Everyone I've ever had ended up in the overflow. But, in a small setup can be a pretty cool fish.

Ive seen clingfishes in the wild...never in the market how do they do in a tank?

 

[eatbreakfast]

They do fine. They disappear in larger setups, but in small tanks are quite peaceful. Most will not accept prepared foods, but in an established system will find enough to eat.

 

[4FordFamily]

Wow that's pretty cool. Thanks for the education!

As it happens, I just saw my first clingfish today - but recognized it because of the reading I've done on this forum.

Cool acquisition - hope he does well for you!

This one is in my 120 and can be found easily when looking... usually under a rock hanging on the bottom glass (barebottom).. at feeding time he is a hoot to watch... attacks the food.. chases it all over the bottom.. I'm gonna try to get a video of him eating... really neat fish

I've had my clingfish for about a year and it's one of my favorite fish. It's like a puppy and swims onto my hand during feeding time. I'd heard they might be poisonous but I haven't had any problems. I do believe they have spines or barbs near their gills and I think I've been stuck by those once. The pain was mild and didn't last long.

Ah, I don't really need anything, just you outright disappeared so was wondering what happened. Do you have relatives in Israel, or are you just visiting? I didn't know it was good for tourism.
