Richard Muirhead sent me the above picture. I think that it is some kind of grouper; the serrated back is reminiscent of this Pacific Goliath grouper. Richard's fish looks more elongated, but that may well be an artifact as a result of the curved front of the tank.
New at the Frontiers of
Zoology:
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network..jpg)

Last night I had a telephone call from an
old friend. He is currently going through unbelievably horrid personal problems
with an ex-partner. I know that he reads these blogs occasionally, so dude - if
you read this - know that we love you, and you are constantly in our thoughts
and prayers. And if there is indeed any natural justice in the universe, then
you will prevail.
