Fishy ID please!

[Silverfish]

I was in the aquarium in Salthill recently, and saw this happy wee fish:





There was no info about him, and I was wondering if someone could identify him for me?

Thanks in advance!

[Silverfish]

Woops, after some investigation, he appears to be a lumpsucker, I've never seen them in that shade of green before

Another question is... is it possible to keep these? Does anyone have any?

[kitchlid]

yep you can keep them they do get big though for an aqaurium haha, theres one in the galway aqaurium and i believe they've bred them too. interestng breeding process.

[davcummo]

[2poc]

I can't see the avators on that site - I obviously disabled them for a reason by the sound of it....

[Silverfish]

Oh no, boobies, now I'll never get any answers!

I got accused of watching the Avatar in stead of the fish. Truth was I was reading the title underneath.

Sliverfish there was a article about these fish in Practical fish keepers about three months ago, will dig it out for you.
