Fish Folk Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Enjoyed a day up in Pittsburgh, PA today. Zoo was very nice, but the PPG Aquarium was what I came most for! I did not photograph anything much in the marine exhibit — but it was impressive for a place far, far from the Sea. Big Sturgeon outside with other large NANF gamefish… Brook Trout… Darters… Bangin’ Rainbowfish exhibit… Interesting Asian waterway… Some fascinating NANF Pupfish… Rasboras, Barbs, and Glasscats… Yawning Peacock Bass… I took a couple videos too. Sorry for the noise. (Kids were a hoot too!) This one was right by the entrance. I’m not sure about some species… This was a NANF tank with Pupfish, Mollys, and maybe… Mummichog? And, for those who would applaud every occasion to “ENJOY NATURE DAILY” beyond the pleasure of watching fish… Bonus! There was a nice lantern exhibit set up around the zoo this season… Edited October 1, 2022 by Fish Folk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Those red rainbow fish are really cool. What variety are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple in that photo might be tails of Boesemanis, but not all of them. I'll look to find a few more photos . . . let me see here . . . I'm guessing "Red Rainbowfish" (Glossolepis incisus) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
