kurtl000 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Unfortunately I dont have a picture but i can give a good description. Imagine a quarter size Diploprion Bifasciatum AKA two-banded soapfish. (google if u dont know what it looks like) Now, remove the black bars and add two HUGE tassels or filaments to the dorsal fin. Any ideas? The owner said he thought it was a baby soapfish but wasnt entirely sure. Would've bought it if it wasnt 70 bucks but I'm not buying a soapfish for that much. Maybe if it had more color.

carbon-mantis Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 From what I've found browsing web pages, the above picture may represent a juvenile Diploprion Bifasciatum. An illustration I found on eol.org I can find little to no information other than this and the picture zook found however... Link to comment
