that pic with its head poking up is funnee.

 

[VangelicSturgeon]

I beg to differ.

 

[xfer]

hi guys! i'm cute!

 

[minxnim]

lungfish!
i used to have a bumblebee goby when i was a little kid. he was the rulingest. he used to dart around like a hummingbird.

 

[xfer]

mudskippers! lungfish are kind of gross, but hey, they are the most likely allies of us airbreathers in the upcoming fish wars.

gobies have cute NAMES, too!

 

[minxnim]

well i mean like, a fish with lungs. there are actually a bunch of mudskippers in my dad's friend's yard (it's a swamp) they make weird swishy noises.

 

[xfer]

hey, we parrotfish are cuties, too!

 

[xfer]

not as cute as the puffer contingent!

 

[minxnim]

yea i was searching for a decent puffer fish one! seahorses are cute too and sea dragons are the awesomesttttt but they're not exactly fish.

 

[xfer]

i'm shocked the clownfish hasn't made an appearance yet.


isn't that particular puffer adorable? i think he's a little retarded, but that kind of makes him even cuter.

 

[minxnim]

i was debating the clownfish, but i decided they're way too mainstream for this thread.

 

[xfer]

yeah, "finding nemo" ruined clownfish for cute-fish-seeking hip kids everywhere.

 

[minxnim]

i had one of these guys too ( a red oscar ) his name was rusty. he lived for 12 years! he was cute when he wasnt ripping goldfish to shreds or slamming into the glass because he didn't like my mom in the room. he could do tricks.

 

[xfer]

are those the fish who often leap out of untopped tanks and kill themselves spasmodically on the floor?

 

[minxnim]

hmm i'm not sure if they do they. they probably would if anyone actually left the tank uncovered (which would be mean since they need a hood with direct light at least like 6 hours a day). but mine used to hit the lid to open it if he was hungry.

 

[avi]

bettas are purdy

 

[minxnim]

i had a betta named caligula. he died. i miss him.

 

[xfer]

fucking praetorians.
