So what species is that and what is it’s actual size, as it’s looks huge?

 

[Villain]

They're very beautiful, adorable. We used to have a small tank when I was a kid, will try and get one soon.

And I feel it's a great lovely profession, must be wonderful. Does your father love the work he does? @PrincessJade

My dad works with fish in an aquatics department in a garden centre.
I’m doing a marine biology course. Fish are so relaxing to me. Gets me through many sad times. x[DOUBLEPOST=1519936302][/DOUBLEPOST]

That’s an antinnata Lionfish. (Pterois antennata)
Will get about 5-6”. He/she is about 3” now.
Can’t have the huge ones or they will eat any fish that will fit in its mouth. xx

Ah, do they change colour when they reach maturity..?

Strange question of the day:if you had to be fish which would it be and why?

Does the fish need to exist now?
If it can be extinct, then a Liopleurodon.
If it has to be alive today, then a flame angel. x

Edit: Don’t know why my font has just gone crazy. x

Well , didn’t need to wear my glasses for that post!

You haven’t said why you would want to be those fish, plus Liopleurondon sounds from the dinosaur era?

Yes it was a dinosaur.
No reason other than it was aquatic and cool as all hell. lol
Flame angels are my favourite fish on the planet. They are like the Mila Kunis of the fish world.

They indeed are lovely. Still got some aquarias up but not as invested so much with it anymore!

I do like fishes, but never kept them. I'm thinking of keeping them but I don't have much idea. Have to do some research...

She is just keeping up the Raptors tradition?

Lovely thread and refreshing to see all those images.

I used to have a 3ft aquarium, i had Platys, Tiger Barbs, Neons and Angel Fish, the trick is to keep fish that like to live in different areas of the tank, bottom, middle or near the surface, that way they have plenty of space.

Is Jade still around? I'm into marine life/fish and would be nice to engage with her.
