Back on the flip side I posted about a rummynose we got which had a bizarre internal growth slash who knows what. It was even suggested it might be internal organs in the wrong place.

I'm happy to report that the fish in question is now 100% unrecognizable from his pals. I can only assume it was something caused by water conditions being off. The 4 we got were definitely a much paler red than our original 6. They are still identifiably paler but not by very much.

I will try to find the photo that showed the "growth"...we even named him Fluffy because it was so obvious and distinctive!

I saw a fish today that had a Siamese twin!!  It actually had a fish tail growing out of its stomach!  Made me all squirmy!

Are you sure you weren’t at the reef glue before going? ;)

Well it would have had to be me and the LFS guy showing it to me!  Apparently it is where he should have eh.... um .... reproductive apparatus!!  But it doesn’t stop him from trying they tell me!  He’s hassling all the ladies!  Wonder would it be kinder to ... take him out!
