Very special thanks for the first three photos of Dunckerocampus chapmani to Richard Bajol from New Caledonia!
Dunckerocampus chapmani is an endemic species from New Caledonia.
Synonyms:
Doryrhamphus chapmani (Herald, 1953)
Dunckerocampus caulleryi chapmani Herald, 1953
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopteri (Class) > Syngnathiformes (Order) > Syngnathidae (Family) > Syngnathinae (Subfamily) > Dunckerocampus (Genus) > Dunckerocampus chapmani (Species)
Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.
