29k! and another note from the founder of whatsthisfish... 29k!
29k people! an amazing number. you all are so helpful to others in this realm. congrats to you all.
I'd like to at this time note that my podcast (if it swims) makes note of this sub often, and it is because of this, I'd like to reach out and ask for some help if anyone wants to provide it.
The if it swims podcast (please listen, like and subscribe) is in need if some very short musical breaks to separate the pod into natural sections.
If you can help, have a listen, and let me know what you think. PM me, and we can go from there. If you're an angler, even better.
also, did I mention 29k?

Where did you see the fish? Put that in the title!
Just a reminder, because we've had a lot of posts recently that omit this information. Where was the fish? If you found it in the wild, that's very helpful information, and outside of tropical waters, the time of year can be helpful too. If it was in an aquarium, what sort? Was it a tank of fish from a particular region? Was it fresh water or salt water?
Other useful information can be, what kind of habitat (seagrass, sand, rocky surge, ...)? If you were diving, approximate depth?
But above all, give the location in your post title. Thanks.

We think maybe a damaged blue sea dragon but it would be missing a lot of its frills.

Spot Croak?
Caught one of these of these off Lewes Pier, DE bay side. And a bigger one off the surf, Oceanside Lewes DE the next day. Both fish had really amazing looking purple hue at certain angles that concentrated behind the head and span down the top of the body just below the dorsal. You can kind of see that coloration in the pic but it was very vibrant. Stunningly beautiful little fish in person! Are these edible or better for cut bait? I released it because I could not identify and therefore did not know regulations, but am looking for advice for the future.

It looks like a frilled neck lizard or that one spitting dinosaur from Jurassic Park.

Possible ID(s) suggested Only fish in client’s aquarium
I posted in another subreddit and got one response as possible Flower Horn Cichlid, but hoping for confirmation.
This fish is in an aquarium that belongs to my client’s young (10/11-ish) son. I’m currently pet sitting their dog and cats and was asked to feed the fish as well. I’d like to reach out and offer assistance since it seems the son needs some help with proper care.
That being said, what is this fish? :) It is about 6 inches long.
