[edit] Striated frogfish
Hi! I noticed you were the original author of the Striated frogfish article. I have some decent photos of this species from my dive trip to Indonesia and want to upload and use those images on this article, replacing the drawn picture in the taxobox. I thought I'd run it by you first since you are the original author. I'd think a photo would be better. What do you think?Jnpet 05:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Great news about the photo (& I suspect you have a bunch more?). There is no need to decide 'drawing or photo', you can have both in the same article. Actually, because this species has such varied colouration, it would be very good to have at least 2 pictures. How about you upload your best photos to Commons, let me have the links, & we can discuss then. GrahamBould 08:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

- Sounds good! I'll upload the photos this weekend and send you the link. And you are absolutely right about the variation. The pictures I have are of the hairy variety. In fact, I had a tough time identifying the species on the picture because where I was diving they were known as hairy frogfish. By the way, will move this discussion over to the Striated frogfish talk page. We can contnue from there.Jnpet 01:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Took a while, but here they are.

- Great pix. Envy your trip! I couldn't see any reason why they all shouldn't be displayed so I just moved the lot. They could be a little bigger, but I suppose Galleries are just large thumbnails. Cheers & thanks. ps did you get any other fish snaps on your trip? GrahamBould 16:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture follow-up
In Antennarius striatus.JPG, the first picture above, there is a large frogfish on the right and... do I see a smaller one on the left? — Epastore 04:11, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes there were two of them sitting right next to each other. Initially I thought it was parent and offspring, but that didn't make sense so it has to be a pair. Not sure which one is male and which one is female though. --Jnpet 14:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- By the way, you can see the second smaller one in the third picture as well. --Jnpet 14:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
