Thanks for the link. It is a nice reference to have on the computer. I don't see one of my fish in it though.

1st pic looks like a younger Chedtlopterus ..
3rd Pic looks like Bleekers Cardinalfish ( pg 44)
I would go back and look at the Ostorhinchus family for the rest
They do look different before they are mature

I did look at this possibility when I went through the book, but rejected it because the description says "Transparent Yellowish Grey", and "yellowish on mouth". Mine is not transparent and is pink with fine black speckling on the sides and I see no yellow around the mouth or really anywhere on it.
Thanks,
Craig
