Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.
Stephanlepis hispidus
Size: to 10"
Habitat: wherever the current takes them
Notes: Baby Filefishes of 2"-3" may be found drifting along with clumps of Sargassum weed. They are also found inshore.
Filefish are similar to triggerfish but have only two spines in the "trigger", rather than three. I kept a filefish in an aquarium for a long time. It was a fascinating pet until it outgrew its quarters, and I had to give it away. They are quite intelligent ( for a fish. )
