johnmaloney Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 This fish exists. It isn't nano or anything, I have never seen it before, the males are very good looking: https://www.google.com/search?q=aracana+ornata&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwijjaO-z9DfAhUFvlkKHYWCCRwQ_AUIDigB&biw=1105&bih=863 Thought you would like the share. 🙂 2 3 Quote Link to comment

That is wild. Such a tiny distribution area too, it is basically confined to an area the size of the coast of one of the Carolinas. Just such a tiny range, must be some geographic features trapping him in. edit, nevermind my first source was saying they were found off just the one bay, but this says it is all of S Australia which makes more sense: https://www.aquamaps.org/receive.php?type_of_map=regular I wonder if the other island chains have their own special cowfish, they don't like open water maybe there are more weird local species that evolved.... 1 Quote Link to comment
