Still angling for a bite, but no coy... might be a whale. I'll get back on my perch  :P

(BTW, there are fish named Aholehole and Crappie - wonder how we can work this into the conversation  ;D )

Seriously though, there were so many makers of glass fish that it would need a catalogue or advert to place some of them. However, you could try Frank's GlassZoo.info (http://glasszoo.info/) as there are a few there that are likely candidates. Often comparisons to the style of the fins and tail, and how they were crimped are good hints.

I really like these 'grotesque' fish and have a few myself that are inmates of the Glass Zoo.

yes I would agree with that statement David, not had much luck with him - i had already tried the zoo but will go back and compare styles.

I like the term 'grotesque' think it sums him up very well
