    Favorite Fish Species

    What is your favorite species of fish? I don't mean fish as in the species you consume (.i.e. Salmon, Tuna, Flounder), but ornamental species like koi or saltwater fish bred for saltwater tanks. Basically any fish kept as a pet or decoration.

    Personally I'm a fan of the arowana. Just these big beautiful, colorful fish.

    Black Moor goldfish, I've been a fan of them for over 3 decades.

    They're one of the telescope breeds right? The goldfish with the large, round eyes that stick out

    Red Snapper. Because it's tasty as hell.



    In terms of looks? The ocean sunfish is neat.

    Give me a betta fish any day. There's just something great about their colorful scales coupled with that perpetual frown.

    Exhibit #1


    Olive oil. Notice the olives on the bottle.

    Exhibit #2


    Something's fishy!
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    There's this Jamaican restaurant near where I live called the Muffin Man and they have some really good red snapper and fries.

    Also, you can also ride a sunfish into battle!

    Alaska pollock. Very tasty if you know how to make it. 200*C oven makes a trick.
    Don't sweat the details!!!

    probably the great white shark, honestly. they're so mysterious really, and not at all the man eaters people like to think of them as.

    they swim so far out into the open ocean and no one really knows what all goes down when they do it. they also can't survive very long in aquariums and those that did survive were released after only a few weeks, but at least one of them still died after being released.

    And to post somewhat constructively -- Mandarin fish.
