Can anyone name this fish ?

[undercover]

Can anyone please name this fish ? I bought them a while ago, they are about 1 inch long, very very aggressive ! they think nothing of attacking carp 18 inches long.

Nasty but amusing fish.

I have now separated them to another pond as it seems they can not stay with other fish. I have tried them on all kinds of food but have never seen them eat anything ? I imagine they are carnivores does anyone know what they eat ?

Thank you in advance for any info.

It looks like some kind of Triggerfish. Very territorial and live on a diet of crustaceans, shellfish and sea urchins.

Maybe your right ? my fish are living in fresh water but I have an idea they are actually salt water fish ? they seem to be doing ok in fresh water so I wonder if they live in rivers close to the sea ?

The overwhelming issue with these fish is their aggression.

OK, cannot be Trigger fish than. Google "Figure Eight Puffer Fish" and I think that is what you have. They are fresh water fish and they do not like tank mates.

Thank you hanno, yes this is the fish I have, they like brackish water so it seems they live in the river close to the sea. Looks like the tank I have moved them to is not big enough so now I must move them again.

Thanks again for the help.

[orpheus454]

Sure, why not...

How about Felicity...?

I seen these at Chatuchak a couple of months ago asked if they were ok to mix with others and they said you have to keep them by themselves. Very nice looking fish for a freshwater tank.

I think may be Bob would be a good name.

Common Folks is the OOBA BOOGA Fish from The deep off the coast of Africa How it got here I have no idea

But you had better watch out It is a carnivorous species know to attack the groins of divers It has been seen in deep waters eating worms

It is also poisons Has a toxic substance where by you become allergic to all food in general

How about ' fingers ' ?

99% sure it's a Puffer fish of which there are many differant types. Most can live in fresh, salt and brackish waters. Some can grow very large.

[phantomfiddler]

Looks like a bunch of rocks to me ! Don,t bother trying for a job with National Geographic

[fasteddie]

I think "Albert Maurice" has a nice ring to it.

[hanno]

Actually Hill Blue Flycatcher is a good call.

According to my copy of The guide to the birds of Thailand it is a Banded Kingfisher. A female I think.
