Talkinsquirrel: The ummm…squirrelfish (Sorry). This eel-like piscine is so named for its habit of squirreling away shrimp and crawfish for the winter, which is especially strange since it lives mainly in the Gulf Of Mexico. [\quote]

I dont even like crawfish ☹

But how did you know I live in the Gulf Of Mexico!?!

You must be psychic!

I’m going to start a thread “get your future told by Sealemon”

Johnny L.A. The Superstarfish. This, shiny, hopeful starfish grows up in the shallows of the Pacific coast. Once it thinks it’s big enough, it swims out into the big ocean, where 10% of it is promptly eaten by sharks.

Odieman: The dogfish. Known for its constantly lolling tongue, this “lost puppy of the sea” constantly trails after other schools of fish, trying to see what they’re up to. Its mortal enemy is the fish cat (see above).

brittainy: The Spears. So named for its slim appearance, this fish was a  
very popular pet last year, but interest has faded. Rumor has it that pet  
shop owners have surgically implanted bigger fins, in a last-ditch attempt  
to sell more of the stock.

DVous Means. This amazing fish actually has prehinsile fins, which it mainly uses to attach fishing hooks to other unsuspecting fish.

Love it!

As an occasional angler who often comes home emptyhanded, I could use a fish like me 🙂
