If You Could Be A Fish

[Miss Wiggle]

Now call me odd if you like but I woke up this morning thinking how ace would it be to be a cory! They look like they have so much fun. I'm jealous, I want to be one

(can you tell I got my first cory's the other day )

what would you be if you could be a fish?

Tough call. I guess I'll go ahead and omit all fish I haven't personally encountered, after all, I could simply say, "Whatever fish is not mouth sized." and stop at that...

I've only owned bettas, harelquin rasboras, otos, goldfish, and schwartzi cories. I guess I'd elect to be.... a Schwartzi cory... or perhaps a Lion Head goldfish. active and yet slightly lazy, a bit of a fat head, and needing lots of personal space.

@soritan, ha ha cool, I'd like to be a fat head!

Arapaima... Big, powerful, beautiful fish. I saw them at the Dallas aquarium and could have watched them for hours. Seeing those big brutes gulp air from the surface....

i like to go against the current (norms) but still unnoticeable (invisible)...

@soritan, ha ha cool, I'd like to be a fat head!

But it's so hard to buy hats! All that elastic....

(for the metaphor-ly challenged: fat head = arrogant)

I guess a puffer of some sort MBU's are nice

intelligent enough not to be the bimbos of the fish world, round, spotty, poisonous if need be, oh and a bit of a git if their bored or harrassed.

hmmmm that does sound familiar.

Only one choice for me, Carcharodon carcharias more commonly known as the Great White Shark. The ultimate predator of the seas.

Anywhere up to 1,500 kg of eating power with lots and lots of teeth.

Also, you get to patrol anywhere between 1 and 1280 meteres of depth.

Edit - saying that, the extinct Carcharodon megalodon weighing in at 13 metres and up to 20 tons looks an even more interesting fish to have been (especially as its teeth grew to more than 6" long.) Some people postulate it fed on large baleen whales.
