Fish ID needed

Post by Arny »

Hey Guys

I bought some Rivershrimp today and when I got home I found a little fish in the bag with them. I'm assuming he's Brakish water as that's what they keep their rivershrimp in.

Can anyone id it from these pix (sorry pix are really bad quality)

What do you think?

It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Looks like a baby fish, there are a lot of marine fish that grew up in estuarine brackish waters... but if i have to bet, it also looks like an Gasterosteus aculeatus aculeatus.

Yeap, you have a beautiful and very interesting british fish, and that link is an excellent George Farmer´s advice to make his new home even more comfortable...
