I think you will need to post a higher quality image. I doubt anyone could even guess from the photo you attached. Also, put the image inline rather than as an attachment.

Looks like baby Oriental Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus vittatus)



If it is - I hope you have a very large aquarium!

I googled it and your right, thank you. Now I am concerned as there is no way my 110 g is going to be big enough......

I guess when it gets to big I will have to find a home for it.
