Alright antoher trip to the LFS has yeilded yet more photos of fish that I haven't been able to ID yet. Could someone please see if they can figure out what these fish are?


This one was labled as a small spot Pompano but I have serious doubts about that ID.

And this one may be a lot harder because I was unable to get a side on shot of this goby. However maybe someoen will get lucky and know what it is:

And this last one, I think I know what it is but would like a bit of confirmation as it could be one of two different tangs:

That first one looks like a juvenile, similar to baitfish I've seen used in the gulf under the name "silver dollars." But I'm guessing those juvenile markings will change.

A couple to look into: Possibly Atlantic spadefish or (another common name) "moonfish". Either way, I'm guessing if it lived to adulthood, that'd be one big fish.

I think your right about the goby, but it's hard to tell from my photo. Unfortunately it didn't move around much in the tank so I couldn't get a different angle or see it very well.

Travis, I agree that those are most likely juvenile markings which is what makes it extremely hard to ID. It will definately be a very large fish as it was already about 4 or 5 inches in diameter!
