Need help identifying weird fish
I found this while cleaning out some string algae about 20 minutes
ago. The small bumps on it's face are too uniform to be ich or bacterial infection. But as to what type of fish it is I have no idea. It's about 2.5 - 3" long. http://community.webshots.com/user/tapetrade thx |

Body shape it almost looks like a very, very fuzzy rosie red minnow. What do you have in the pond? Could be a mixture of whatever is in there. Looks like it has a bit of colour. k30a |

Interesting looking fish. The bumps do seem to very uniform, but large.
Maybe check with local Fish & Wildlife to see if it's a local fish that maybe came in with birds or pond plants. -- Kathy B, zookeeper (OR) 3500gal pond DesertPond wrote: I found this while cleaning out some string algae about 20 minutes ago.

It looks like a breeding male Rosy Red. the bumps are a sexual display.
Moon remove nospam from e-mail to send to me, I grow trees in aquariums like bonsai. I breed dwarf crayfish, great for planted community tanks. If you can get me a shovelnose sturgeon fingerling (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) no wild caught please, contact me |

Male Rosie Reds get bumps on their heads
during breeding time (gawd knows why! I don't find it attractive in the least...) I think their full name is Rosie Red Fathead Minnows. Robyn's web page has some info on them. http://userpages.umbc.edu/~rrhudy1/index.html k30a |

Hey thanks everyone! :-)
That's exactly what it is. This is my first spring with the pond, got started late last summer so I haven't seen these guys in full spawning mode until now. He's a big sob. lol thanks again On 03 Apr 2003 02:08:55 GMT, ESPMER (K30a) wrote: Male Rosie Reds get bumps on their heads during breeding time (gawd knows why!
