Field Notes

Description:

Large fish, deep pink in colour with a huge lump on its head ...(nuchal hump)

Habitat:

Aquarium fish.

Notes:

I understand this is a hybrid and so, perhaps I ought not post it...but it exists and is peculiar enough to merit a shot...but if the Rangers disagree I will take it off my list.

Thanks, LisaPowers for changing the category...I do not get to spot too many fish species, so I am glad I did not have to remove it.

As a man-made hybrid and an aquarium fish that does not exist naturally in the wild, this belongs in the pet category.
