I keep dreaming of saltwater tanks, too. Maybe once I have a few years experience at freshwater first.

I also saw one of those dog faced puffers (CUTE!!!), a dwarf lionfish, and a big yellow tang. Their colors are amazing.

That was gorgeous!!! I didn't know there was such a thing....sure it isn't a puffer of some sort?????:wink2: JK

[Glasstapper]

You know, kimmers, this betta was sharing a tank with a dog faced puffer..... maybe they're cousins twice removed? LOL

It's not a betta species :ezpi_wink1: It's common name is Marine betta or comet. It's a Calloplesiops altivelis. They live off the coast of northern Australia and the Indo-pacific region. I have seen them at the local underwater world a few times. They are gorgeous looking fish like nearly all marine species. I would love a salt water tank :18: but it's soooo expensive compared to freshwater

for me, saltwater was a royal pain in the @$$
