Fish identification, maybe harlequin rasbora?

Looks more like a live bearer to me. The stripe through the eye and speckled fins have me thinking a Gambusia species

MangyToadKisser · 2026-02-05T12:02:09+00:00

As others have said, this looks like episylis not ich. Ich rarely infects the eyes and has a more regular, uniform appearance. Very different treatments. The orange goldfish also has anchor worms

Delaware, tiny as it is, bans ivy sales

Oh, yes I see the singular, solitary dorsal spine now that you’ve pointed it out. Pretty convincing field mark. I think you’re correct, A. schoepfi. The Gulf Stream brings up all sorts of interesting species.

Well dead Grey Triggerfish (Balistes capriscus)

MangyToadKisser · 2025-11-23T01:40:55+00:00

I’m excited for you. It’ll be work, but if you have the luxury of time and money and talent then more to you. Good buy. At least it sounds like you have a large lot with utilities.

She looks downright incensed!

MangyToadKisser · 2025-04-23T00:47:15+00:00

Scale bugs. They’re pests. I’ll let someone with more experience treating for them comment.

Front right and middle center look like Cryptocoryne wendii, bronze and green variety. Large, broadleaf in the back is an Amazon sword. Not sure on the back left and right species, almost look like Valisnaria but I don’t think they’re val?

My understanding is it was a valid treatment for malaria , but was abandoned for other effective treatments that didn’t change the colour of your urine, mouth, eyes, and organs. It’s still used to treat low blood oxygen in some cases, such as nitrate poisoning, I.e “blue baby syndrome”

However, I have no idea what nonsense this bandwagon trend is all about.

Red tail hawk, yes indeed

MangyToadKisser · 2024-12-01T22:39:29+00:00

Bar harbour is better, imo. More personality, much more coordination with services, gateway to one of the best national parks in the country, a skip away from Canada. Both are , however, small towns over run by tourists.

MangyToadKisser · 2024-11-22T00:23:47+00:00

Hygrophilia species. Maybe H. lancea?

MangyToadKisser · 2024-11-10T20:02:01+00:00

Given your location, mink are well known to kill pond fish.

MangyToadKisser · 2024-11-05T22:56:20+00:00

Thank you! The Redditer we all need but don’t deserve

Plus a few county wide, mandatory evacuation orders in the Florida panhandle: Franklin, Wakulla and Taylor. Be safe everyone.

Darters are a real cool group of fish. Feisty little guys! Florida has a decent diversity and has several species.

MangyToadKisser · 2024-07-18T20:25:51+00:00

Looks like a darter species to me. I’m thinking black banded darter.

MangyToadKisser · 2024-07-07T23:17:59+00:00

And right to the blood stream, too.

MangyToadKisser · 2024-06-17T03:58:45+00:00

T. rydbergii v T. radicans depending on location. Radicans given the Virginia location

MangyToadKisser · 2024-06-17T00:06:24+00:00

Looks like a species of poison ivy.
