Frogfish time Anonymous
I was trying to add to my list of stupid-looking animals (yes, I have one) and a friend suggested the frogfish.

They have jointed stubby front fins that act like legs used to walk along the bottom of the ocean.

Frogfish envies his agile cousins.

That's like calling chameleons stupid-looking because they have feet heavily adapted to climbing and can't run.

The freakiest thing is that human legs and arms started out as stubby arm-like fins like that. I can just imagine that 300 million years in the future the descendants of frogfish will be posting messages on their intertubes, wondering what killed off all the land vertebrates that lived 300 million years before their time...

OP here
>>255490
So far I have tapirs, lemmings, pacman frogs (I own a bloated Albino male), frogfish and the dumbo octopus.

I was hoping to add some hoofed or deer-like animals. I'm trying to avoid borderline animals like armadillos, platypus and goats. I had kakapos and marmosets, but I think I might take them off my list.

They are sold as pets in stores. They are saltwater. I imagine they walk really slowly around the tank. There doesn't seem to be much info about them as pets on the 'net.

a relative of mine owned one, jokingly named it Freddy. it was really awesome- they can breathe through their skins for a while, so you can take them out of th water and play with them. they're also very friendly and once they've gotten used to you they'll swim up to greet you and everything.

can't keep them in marine aquariums though- theyre carnivorous and will eat other fish. freddy was fed mollies and the most gigantic and disgusting mealworms ive ever seen

dont condone getting one as a pet, though, unless its been legitimately sourced, or bred. a lot of marine species have been taken from the wild whether by live catching or by dynamiting and its really destroying the reefs.
