    This is a video of a goldfish that has trouble maintaining its buoyancy. So what did it's owner make? "A fishstick?" Good heavens no! They made it a little life preserver so it can still swim around instead of laying at the bottom of the tank all day being sad. The fish ha... / Continue →

    This is a brief video from Japan's National Institute of Genetics of what's believed to be the world's first footage of a thought being formed. $10 says Hollywood tries to turn it into a movie. The thought existed in the brain of a zebrafish, and is basically "FOOD!". Haha, ... / Continue →
  • Ambitious!: Fish Dies Trying To Eat A Fish As Big As It
    January 10, 2013
    This is a photo of a pike that died trying to swallow a zander fish almost as big as it is. Like a middle school cafeteria lady once told me after I couldn't finish all the lasagna I'd asked for, "Your eyes must be bigger than your stomach." Oh yeah? If my eyes are really bi... / Continue →

    January 10, 2013
    Sorry folks, I was having a little laptop trouble this morning so I had to break it over my knee and go buy a new one. THERE WAS NO OTHER OPTION. In hindsight I kind of regret not backing it up first though. This is a video of a dolphin stampede captured by Dolphin Safaris i... / Continue →
  • At Least They're Not A Hurricane: Giant Fish Tornado
    December 18, 2012
    This is a short video of a giant jack fish tornado captured by marine biologist Octavio Aburto at Cabo Pulmo National Park in Mexico. Why would fish ever want to be in a tornado? SPOILER: to get to Oz. "And why would fish want to end up in Oz?" Beats ending up in a Long Joh... / Continue →

  • Scientists Create Pet Fish That Glow All The Time
    November 14, 2012
    Ahahahaha, I try to make out with my reflection too! Especially in those shiny office building windows where you know there's somebody on the other side. I make people's lunch breaks FANTASTIC. Because this is what the world has come to, scientists from the National Taiwan O... / Continue →
  • Because Real Fish Require Work: Robotic Fish Pets
    November 12, 2012
    Because real pets require care and care is an obligation and people HATE obligations, Takara Tomy designed these €15 (~$19) 'Robo-Fish' for sale as pets. Or maybe they're for kids. But apparently *picking plastic fin out of teeth* they're not for sushi. One of you could have... / Continue →
  • Alternatively, Douse Yourself In Sake: Sushi Cologne
    November 6, 2012
    This is sushi scented cologne from zany perfumer Demeter. It's supposed to smell like sushi, but the scent surprisingly lacks any spicy tuna. Something smells fishy about all this! KILLLLLLLL MEEEEEEE. The fragrance consists of hints of just cooked sticky rice and straight ... / Continue →
