What's the cutest fish?

[arcadian]

Since PETA is trying to get people to call fish 'sea kittens' now, what do you think is the cutest fish? I think probably cuddlefish(not actually fish, but gastropods) also trunk fish and puffers are pretty cute.

1. Here are three cute fish:

3. top one isn't a fish

but my vote goes for puffers too

4. I wondered about that, but it's cute as hell!

That first one is some kind of juvenile amphibian, or what???

5. I am no expert and I know there is one on DU, but yes it is either a

juvenile salamander or newt. There are also some forms that never metamorphose into adults - the one I know about was sacred to early Mesoamericans - the axolotl. Your pic may even be one.

7. It's an Axolotl (salamander). I also have a cute baby stingray, HERE:

13. You are right on, it's an axolotl

(Ambystoma mexicanum). :D

Totally adorable!

6. The pink one looks computer generated....

It's a mudkip from Pokeman isn't it? (I only learned about mudkips from the meme "So I herd u liek mudkipz..." Google at your own risk!

8. Maybe it's the inspiration for the mudkip!

But it's really a juvenile salamander, blurry picture.

9. You're probably right, they look similar...both are pretty darn cute!

2. I'm always really happy to see vermilion rockfish

10. Probably not this one

11. I've got

a weather loach that looks very much like these two. It burrows in the gravel, hides in an old sea shell I have in the tank and generally is very easy to take care of...I haven't kept good track, but I've had it for at least 10 years if not more. I don't know how cute it is, but it's my favorite.
