Weird Looking Fish

So… My wife and I recently got an aquarium, so we’ve been checking out some fish. Really wierd sci-fi looking fish exist… Check them out…

Stonefish

Stonefish look like stones! They hide, and then eat whatever gets too close. Stonefish are also extremeley venemous, wikipedia says the most venemous fish in the world. Stonefish stings are usually due to stepping on them. Fortunately, hot water (above 113F) neutralizes the venom.

Axolotl

These fish have arms and legs.

Lumpfish / lumpsucker

Lumpsuckers are nearly spherical. As you may have guessed, they don’t swim all that great and spend a lot of time on the sea floor where they camouflage themselves. They are found in northern waters, with the most species along the contental shelf (from 100 -- 1700 meters).
