Crazy fish...

Found this guy in one of my crab pots when I was pulling them up today. Anyone know what it is???

Haha thats weird, im unsure but possibly some kind of Hypostomus maybe Plecostomus.

Figured it out. It's an "Oyster Toadfish" Opsanus tau. They eat oysters and other shell fish. The little F'er must have been in my crab pot feasting on my crabs!!!

That sure is a crazy looking fish!! Good thing you got it before you didn't have any crabs left.

He was cool looking and I actually did consider keeping him. But I don't have any tank set up or anything. And, he's from salt/brackish water. So it wouldn't have been just a matter of sticking him in a tank of water. So he's back in the bay eating oysters where he should be.

kind of like a platypus of the fish world ( a pleco,flounder,angler fish, axolt) put together
but axolts arn't fish but still I would keep it looks cool.
