Good morning all, I had a busy but fun day of diving yesterday and once home we went to a friends birthday party, so I got home late again.  Today after walking the dogs I am meeting some friends for a dive at Varsenbaai in search of a new frogfish that was recently found.  I really don’t have much for you this morning, it’s hard to think when your still half asleep.
 
This was a small school of Goatfish I found the other day all hanging out together.  I often notice fish swim in a certain order or rank like largest on top and the smaller ones below.  I have always considered Goatfish as the “calm” leave us alone fish.  They really keep to themselves and are always seen swimming in small schools.  Much of their day is spent digging in the sand, they use two fleshy whiskers called “barbels,” located under the tip of their chin, to search for prey hiding in the sand.  These fish are Carnivores, they feed on shrimp, crabs, bottom-dwelling invertebrates, clams, and clam worms.
 
Dogs are waiting to go, talk to you tonight again, Barry
