The last two pictures look like they are Plainfin Midshipmen. I could be wrong since I have been looking at colorful Hawaiian fish for the last two weeks. I don't have my PNW books with me as I sit in the Denny's in Kona waiting for my flight.

Agreed - Plainfin Midshipmen. Odd looking beasts.

What about the first one. Everyone afraid to take a stab at that one?
I will be brave and say maybe it might be a Buffalo Sculpin. The nose looks a little long, but...

The first one doesn't seem to have the correct dorsal fin to be a Plainfin. It may just go in the UnIDed Swimming Fish Category. I have a bunch of those.BASSMAN wrote:I think Both are the Plainfin midshipmen.
Fun to see on night dives, not so elusive then.

Thanks! I did some research myself before you sent the link and ended up getting the second book on the list!Tom Nic wrote:http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=489Seth T. wrote:Can anyone recommend a good NW fish species book?

That is a great one! When you have the $55 to spend get Andy Lamb's book. Awesome coffee table book, great for looks up... you'll spend hours looking it over.Seth T. wrote:Thanks!

Also, watch for Janna Nichols (NWScubaMom) Fish ID and Invert ID classes. LOTS of fun, LOTS of information, and will just up your enjoyment of diving a whole ton!
