What is the red angelfish-like fish by Bullyland. Seen here, third from the left on the bottom.

It's not actually linked on that Bullyland page

I never found a good match

I bought this set of Kenner Fish for the purple shore crab (!!!). Any idea what the angelfish is????  Thanks!

EDIT: I think I may have an ID: majestic angelfish (Pomacanthus navarchus)

I think you're right, (Pomacanthus navarchus) seems to be the best option. It is just marketed as an angelfish and I'm not sure they were after a specific species.

Yes, i think the same. I think this for sure. Any time ago i had posted topics about this figure.

Does anyone know what the three sharks in one of the capsules are? Two whale sharks (juveniles???) and a ... Perhaps the Japanese text tells us but I can't read Japanese.

Whale sharks! Which specific text are you referring too?

The rightmost ball at the bottom. There are 3 sharks. I thought one wasn't a whale shark, but perhaps it is.

You'll see why I asked which specific text.
What reads above the ball with the sharks is "Large Tank of "The Kuroshio Sea"

Edit: I missed the text under the ball at the bottom left. It reads "Whale shark"

I would b happy to know how your read Japanese text on a Jpeg Rogério

Oh, I will tell you my secret, it is very useful.
I use the Google app in my phone.
I choose the option "Search with the camera" and I put it on translate mode.
It detects the text and the language and shows a translation. Try it, you will enjoy.

Thank you

I use the Google translate app on my phone and hold it up to the computer screen too! LOL

Thank you, I'll try the mobile phone trick too.

I am hopeless with frog IDs. I know the basics bit the nuances are lost on me. Any thoughts on species? I have ideas on blue poison, mint poison, mantella?, dyeing (2 versions?)...

I have a question that I would like you to help me solve. I have 3 toob safari tigers of different toob. It is clear that every animal toy brand does not think about the subspecies and the tiger is always based In the Bengal tiger since it is the most common and well-known species, but in this case I would like to know if this model is based on the Bengal tiger even if it comes in a different toob or can be Consider another subspecies of tiger the Bengal tiger says in the safari endangered species toob but looking closely the model is based on the Bengal tiger or the other two Could they be some other subspecies of tiger?[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I would say

1 bad Green and black poison dart frog
2 bad Blue poison dart frog or very very bad Yellow spotted climbing toad
3 Need more pics and investigation (bad Brilliant-thighed Poison Frog ? bad Boquete rocket frog ? something else ?)
4 Dyeing dart frogs
5 Blue poison dart frog
6 probably bad Green and black poison dart frog or very bad Ranitomeya fantastica morph
7 Golden mantella or Golden toad

Thank you Kiki. I concur on the species more common, I will have to look up the others you mention.

Unlikely, I'm sure they're just generic tiger figures. It is hard to tell if these figures represent a certain subspecies, unless it is noted by the company.

I got this (hardrubber) duck? figure - but i can not find out the specie? Any ideas?

Probably not identifiable, sorry. Blue-billed ducks are usually in the genera Aythya or Oxyura (among others), but none (that I am aware of) have green heads. Green heads usually imply mallard, but nothing else here says mallard. There are rare morphs of mallard with blue bills but I doubt that was intended here. Probably generically painted.

Thank you, exactly the problem. A good looking fugure but a phantasy coloration.

Blaine might be right but I wouldn't give up since there are lots of duck species and considering the breeding season plumage more the sexual dimorphism and a few more variants, it is possible that some species will match your figure. I honestly checked almost every species with blue bills and I also didn't find anything similar.

Thanks, but ihave no hope There is not a similar match in the lynx book birds.

I have these two fish in my body’s box, waiting to be repainted. Has anyone an idea about species?
