Rainbow Wrasse
Wrasse are abundantly found throughout the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The family is large and diverse, including over 600 distinct species of wrasse, one of which is the rainbow wrasse seen bellow. While they have minor importance as a game fish, they are mostly sought for aquarium capture.
Its natural diet consists of fish, crustaceans, motile invertebrates, and worms.

And they're also a little odd in that many/most varieties of wrasse can and do change their gender during their lives. If there aren't any male wrasse around, a female switches.
ReplyDeleteA number of reef fishes switch sex. For some it is purely maturation that determines sex, for others such as the wrasses, it is about social dominance. Surgeon fish and clown fish are another good example, though clowns go the other way typically--the dominant fish is the female.
ReplyDeleteIf Finding Nemo was bilogically accurate both Nemo and his father would be female by the end of the film and would have violently fought over who got to keep the anemone.
Oh and Bloat would have viciously annihilated everything else in the dentist's aquarium. Porcupine puffers are mean; watch your fingers around them.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd enjoy watching the audience reaction to your movie more than the movie itself, Adam Philippe
