Not an attractive fish.

I'm terrified of whatever the hell swims in the Niagara River. I went tubing on the river this summer, and as I was waiting for the line to tighten between me and the boat, something swam right between my knees and I screamed sooo loud.

Mostly it scares me cos I went fishing with my friend Jess once and we saw these fish [no idea what they were] that were over 3 feet long and really creepy looking. I was hoping it wasn't one of those!

And that handfish is adorable!

I can't stand them either, but I can bear to look at them

I thought of fish that creep me out:
I am creeped out by "balloon" versions of regular fish :nod:

Baloon kissing gouramis are so :sick:

ok why is the hand "fish" standing on the ground? :sly:

Dorkhedeos · Feb 3, 2005

that is a pretty cool fish, i also dont like balloon fish, they scare me not because they are scary, but it looks like it has dropsy

I can't stand ballon versions of fish they are very ugly and just plain creepy.

I've very much of the "ohhh, so ugly, it's cute" school of thinking.

With that said I love angler fish! The bioluminesence (sp?) doesn't hurt either!

That hand fish looks like a frog that didnt fully evolve into a fish. lol.

Im not a fan of mollies either. I love platties, but not mollies.

Hand fish is known by Brachionichthys hirsutus.

if you go HERE you can see some more images, and even some videos of it! The second one is cool You see the one walk!

This is one cool fish!

I don't really think they're ugly, it's just the teeth that freak me out. I mean, look at those things :crazy:

The patagonian toothfish....not that it is so bad, but, if most people know that this is what they are eating when they order 'chilean sea bass' at the restaurant..well......

I hate, *hate*, HATE those Japanese Bubble-Eyed Goldfish. I'm sorry, but they do not look healthy....actually they look just plain wrong, IMO!!!

I am absolutely terrified of leleupi, don't know why, but I get completely freaked out when I look at pictures and I saw a tankful in person once and I came close to a panic attack :-(
