It looks like one of those talking fish on a board, like when you push the button it sings a christmas song lol. Magnificent catch.

Is that a Wahoo?
Sucks, fish lose their color after they die. That fish is definitely airbrushed, all saltwater taxidermy mounts are. The oils in their skin ruin their color as do dead chromatophores. A good example is the Dolphin (mahi mahi). You catch one and they look awesome... and hour later they look like shit.

So true! That definitely looks like a wahoo, and as a reply to the first post those mandarin dragonets are hard to keep alive, very picky, but awesome fish!
I've got a tank with a royal garmma, true percula clownfish, snowflake eel, and hawkfish!

I went to the monterey bay aquarium once and in hindsight it would have been amazing to go there tripping...watching hundreds of bioluminescent jellyfish...

Dude hawkfish are such cool fish. There are other ones out there that look nothing like the longnose hawkfish. I love how they just perch on coral and rocks and look at you like they own the damn tank.

Lots of hawkfish: http://www.liquid-medium.com/1_2/hawkfishes.htm

Marine Betta:

Don't know too much about them... They're secretive, not too common, expensive, and somewhat hard to keep. That's about all I can tell you.

I think a lot of this footage is from "Planet Earth" but it is awesome so for those of you who haven't seen it >>>
Bioluminescents are so interesting....I want to watch the deep sea episode of planet earth, on Blue-Ray, on a plasma wide screen, while tripping
