Baby Sturgeon? Lizardfish? You tell me

Hey @barbawang, is this a baby Sturgeon or what? I’m completely speculatin at this point but thats what it reminded me of. Looked like it had tiny little wings when it swam away. Am I close? Nothing from google showed em this small so it’s probably not, but I would like to know. What do you think?



Can we guess?

Absolutely

Juvenile Sea Robin?

Yea, now we’re getting closer… definitely something of that sorts

I thought it was a guanard, likely a sea robin

Believe that is a striped sea robin, we have quite a few species but the flag on the dorsal is one of the differentiating characteristics

Striped, leopard, big head, and northern are our more popular species. Leopard is probably the prettiest coloration, but I covered it with my fat thumb

Might be northern now that I’m looking at the book


I thought it was a Sea Robin, right off, but, after researching them, I saw a link about them having a “Peacock blue” eye?

Confusing, as Stumps fish has eyes that are the same as the body color?
