One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish





With apologies to Dr. Seuss, I wanted to share a few of the other fish from Bonaire's reefs. The one fish (bottom photo) is a cherubfish, a very small (3 inches) angelfish, and always a treat to see. The two fish are grunts, a bluestriped grunt (foreground, about 10 inches) and a French grunt (about 6 inches). Both grunt species are pretty common. The red fish are blackbar soldierfish (about 6 inches), another common species. The blue fish are boga (about 7 inches), a schooling species that we don't encounter very often.
