I just found this picture here:

but the site has no info on it. Does anyone know what this fish is and where it can be gotten? It's totally amazing.

That's a SW sea dragon, related to sea horses and pipe fish. Last I knew, they were not available for sale commercially, due to endangered status. I've seen them in some larger public aquariums from time to time.

Ah,
too bad. It's definitely a beautiful creature.
Yeah, gorgeous creature....did you notice the yellow one right behind the colorful one ? I've always loved those things...coolest seahorse you'll ever see !

They had those on display at Ripley's aquarium in Myrtle Beach, SC, about 4 years ago. Perhaps there still.

They are at my favorite place in the world too- The Shedd Aquarium, Chicago.

Ah the Shedd--excellent place, though I have to put it second to the Monteray Bay Aquarium. That place is outa control!

Oliver may have them on his site because he does import a lot of stuff for aquariums in the general geographic area. One of the best sources for any kind of wild fish, especially discus, absolutely best source of wilds.
