Thank you CynthiaMHori.. Yes indeed they are ! Not forgetting violent.
Thank you all..Yes Carolina they are fishes they do not breath air but instead absorb oxygen through their skin and gills. Therefore they constantly have to keep themselves wet. It's a really cute sight as they actually roll on their sides to wet themselves.
Amazing photo! Kind of freaky looking fish!
Wow, I didn't know they were fishes, and I didn't even know amphibious fish exist!
Fantastic!
great pictures!
- Carolina, it's been done :)
- Monkey-mind, hahahah yea they do but they are extremely territorial about the hole they live in.. A fight occurs every min..
