Rare Fish's Rare Fish of the Day!

Yeah, I guess, but I like the idea of daily basis. If I have enough time, I will do them.
That’s totally your choice, and I respect the amount of time and effort you put into these, just don’t want you to be adding any extra stress to your life - there’s enough of that going round anyway. 🙂

We would all like them daily, but you're a person just like us... And all people have a thing called life where when you want to have a schedule to something life says: "Nope not happening"

I've been inactive for quite a while. I didn't do this one correctly - football comes before fishforums lol!

Man have I had a month backed up with homework and more stuff. I'm sorry for all the promises. I will start as soon as I can. I have winter break so I'll be able to do atleast a few. In the meantime, what do you guys want to see? Small? Medium? Community? Predatory? Topwater? Flow-lover? Soft water?

@Rocky998, top water fish it is, and we will kick off with the Bony-eared Assfish! It’s only a few (thousand) meters down.

IUCN Conservation status: Least Concern

Description: The unfortunate name ’assfish’ comes from Greek ‘onos’, which means donkey. Akantha=thorn in Greek, which comes from the long thorny tentacles Assfish have. ‘Armatus’ means armed in Greek, which originates from the flabby ‘tentacles’ protruding from the gills and fins. They also have the smallest brain-to-body ratio of any vertebrate, besides my history teacher.
