Daily fish fact #379

French angelfish!

Despite the name, they live in the western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, from the state of New York all the way down to Brazil! It seems they display monogamy, with two fish viciously defending their single territory from other French angelfish.

A great dive in Cozumel. It started with a beautiful sunrise before we headed out across the water.

DENVER (AP) — A fancy-looking French angelfish that was found one day with a funny float has its buoyancy back after taking some time from its tropical trappings to get a CT scan at the Denver Zoo.

A zoo worker recently noticed the blue and yellow fish was swimming with a tilt, prompting a visit last week to the facility’s on-site hospital for an ultrasound and the CT scan.

The CT scan took place in a machine large enough to fit a 700-pound (318-kilogram) grizzly bear, so some special accommodations were required, zoo spokesperson Jake Kubie said.

The approximately seven-inch (18-centimeter) fish was sedated, balanced upright on a sponge and had water poured over its gills to keep it alive as the scan took place.

The diagnosis: Too much gas.

Enteritis, or inflamed intestines, had resulted in increased internal gas that was affecting the fish’s buoyancy, Kubie said.

“It was treated with antibiotics,” he said. “It’s doing much better and swimming normally.”

I've been teaching myself how to draw fish lately

[angelfishofthelord]

ok fine major spoilers for my current wip

[ramshackledtrickster]

Ac3 pig herding homestead mission but make it merfolk au (sorry I’ve been on a little mer-kick lately)

Little notes:

In real life, sea pigs are a deep sea animal that has specifically adapted to feed on dead plant matter and detritus at the bottom of the ocean. For the sake of this au though I’m picturing that prudence and warren have domesticated sea pigs that are bred to survive in more normal epipelagic water pressure.

To keep the farm theme going with Prudence and Warren, they have sea pigs for helping keeping environments clean and help them with crop rotation and keeping crops clean and weeding away bad batches essentially.

Connor is an orca, and prudence is a French angelfish, and warren would be a butterflyfish— these fish both are known to mate for life, and I thought that’d match these two characters since the game really emphasizes how much they love and care for each other.

Started thinking about what pet names all the boys would give you (excluding standard ones like babe/baby and darling and love and stuff) and this is what I came up with-

(Some of these have been in fics I've read bur I am currently sick as a dog and don't remember where, so credit where credit is due!)

Heartslabyul-

Riddle: His Rose/Rosebud/Petal. Might use Strawberry if he can not get flustered by using it

Ace: Cherry (he mentions liking cherries at some point)

Deuce: Bluebell/Bluebird (no clue why I thought of it but this is so frickin cuuute 🥺)

Cater: Presh (originally it was his Diamond, then his Precious, then Presh for short)

Trey: Honey or Sugar if he was feeling endeared, but if he was messing around he'd use different ingredients (egg, flour, butter, etc. Oyster sauce is one of his favourites when teasing too)

Savannaclaw-

Leona: I could only think of catnip, kitten or pillow so pick your poison 💀

Jack: His mate (most people think you are just homies at first bc of it but then they realise)

Ruggie: Sweetpea/Dandelion/other (edible) flowers

Octavinelle-

Azul: Angelfish

Jade: Pearl

Floyd: Shrimpy!!1!1!!

Scarabia-

Kalim: Princess/Sunflower

Jamil: Gem/Albibi (baby in Arabic. Idk much about that one, I've seen people say he'd use it though)

Pomefiore-

Vil: Sweet potato Fair one

Rook would have a new one every two minutes and each time it would be a paragraph in French describing how beautiful you are

Epel: Apple blossom (shortened to Apple or blossom)

Ignihyde-

Idia: Player 2 he'd also use discord kitten to tick you off

(Also Ortho will now call you Neesan)

Diasomnia-

Malleus: MY child of man

Lilia: Little bat

Sebek: TOLERABLE

Silver: Fawn

If you guys have any other thoughts lmk, I'm curious to see what others think 👀👀

[local-ground-apple]

Can you do Malleus, Rook, and Azul finding out you can understand the elemental fairies. Decide to help male a small castle for the fairies in NRC?

Thank you for such cute request!

🐲 Malleus is absolutely delighted and his feelings are even stronger after seeing your bright and happy face when you were talking with elemental fairies,

🐲 when he saw you being so compassionate & kind for his own kind, he couldn't help but smile,

🐲 at first, Malleus scared the fairies away, but you quickly convinced them not to run away at the mere sight of your dragon boyfriend. Needless to say, they warmed up to him quite fast and soon enough, Malleus sometimes visited them with you,

"Tsunotarou! We should build a small castle for them!"

🐲 your definition of small was different than Malleus'. He literally used magic to create a castle that was similar in size as Diasomnia's dormitory,

"Malmal, this is...hmm..it's way too big for fairies. They mesure only few centimeters!" "Nonsense, dearest"

🐲 you needed Lilia's help to convince him to settle for something way, way, way smaller,

🐲 so you invited him to build the castle with you. This time without using any magic. Malleus had so much fun spending the whole afternoon & building a size-appropriate castle with you. He was sure he would cherisj this memory for eternity,

🏹 Rook is very impressed with your ability to understand elemental fairies. He finds it quite fascinating that you (being a human from another world and without any magic) could easily communicate with those small creatures,

🏹 he will start calling you Ma fée (My fairy) from now on,

🏹 Rook is eager to help you make a small castle for the fairies. He is quite skilled with using various tools and carving, so helping you out won't be a problem for him.

🏹 You two end up making a glamorous castle (which is way more lavish and elaborate than you first expected to).

🏹Needless to say, Rook uses this situation as an opportunity to spend more time with you (and learn something new). Sometimes, he may join you and chat with fairies (with you acting as his personal translator),

🏹You tried to teach Rook fairies' language and he is picking it up quite fast. One day, he will be able to fluently communicate with them. He also attempted to teach some of the fairies French (and he failed splendidly),

🏹Rook may occasionlly watch you from afar as you are talking with fairies. He certainly doesn't want to disturb your conversation; he is simply admiring your beauty, your bright smile and kindness dancing in your eyes,

🏹 You did catch him few times,

"Rook. Why don't you come here and spend some time with me instead of stalking me?🤨" "Ma fée! I'm coming!"

🐙 Azul's first instinct was to think of the ways he (his first instinct was to think of the ways he (and Mostro Lounge) could potentially benefit from your ability. Poor octopus almost prepared a whole business plan in his head,

🐙On his second thought, he decided not to. When he found out you could communicate with elemental fairies, you were smiling brightly, while the fairies were flying all around you. He didn't have the heart to benefit from your ability,

🐙besides, you told him "no", when he asked you about fairies,

"Angelfish, I've noticed that recently you've been spending awfully a lot of time with fair-" "No, Azul, you cannot monetise them"  "Oh, Angelfish, how could you assume something like this?" "🤨🙄"

🐙You looked way too happy, so Azul abandoned his business plans,

🐙The moment you told him that you plan on building a small castle for the fairies, Azul was already prepared. He had whole vision and a neat plan. He managed to find the best tools and high-quality materials,

🐙Azul managed to convince Jade & Floyd to help you two build a castle,

🐙In the end, the castle exceeded your expectations. It was quite enormous given that it was supposed to be a castle for quite small fairies, yet it was simply beautiful. Azul poured his whole soul and creativity into building this glamourous and elaborate building,

🐙It turned out that only Jade understood the assignment and constructed two, small castles,

Happy Sunday!

“Hey kiddo, what’s up?”

Sonic looked down at his communicator. It had been buzzing just seconds before, informing the hedgehog that his little brother was trying to reach him.

“Hello,” came the soft reply.

“You okay?”

The kit hesitated before answering his brother. “Yeah, I-I’m fine.”

“O-okay,” Sonic said. Even over the phone, he could read Tails’ emotions and knew for a fact that the kid was not fine. “Was there a reason for your call?”

“Did you know…” Away from the phone, the kit coughed and whimpered. Sonic winced. What was up with him?

“Did I know what?”

“French Angelfish stay together until one d-dies…”

The hedgehog smiled to himself. He thought he could see where Tails was going with this. He leaned back in the chair he was sitting in.

“And… it’s unlikely to find one alone. Pairs of-of t-these fish work t-together to defend their territory against other A-Angelfish pairs…”

“That’s a lot like us.” Sonic chuckled. “We partner together to save the world from Eggman…”

“…And it’s hard to find one of us without finding the other,” the two finished together.

On the other side of the line, Tails smiled at the ceiling of his workshop. “Did y-you know t-that Eggm’n has badniks t-th’t shoot arrows n-now?”

“What’s he gonna name them, ArrowBots?” Sonic snickered. 

That got a small chuckle out of Tails, which ended with a whimper. For a bit, the line went quiet.

“Tails,” Sonic said quietly, “Are you sure you’re alright?”

Dodging the question, Tails whispered “I l-l’ve you.”

“I love you too, Tails.” Sonic sighed, leaning forward in the chair. “But I need to know you’re okay. You were stuttering a lot, did you have another panic attack?”

Silence.

“You‘re a g-g-good b’other.”

“Thanks, buddy. Uh… is something going on?”

The blue blur heard shifting from the other side of the line. It stopped abruptly. 

“N-no.”

“Okay then,” Sonic replied. He was confused, to say the least.

The line went silent again.

“If you don’t have anything else to say, I’m gonna hang up, lil’ bro.”

More quiet. Sonic could hear the AC in the background on the other line.

“I’ll see you tonight, keed,” the hedgehog whispered. Tapping his communicator, he hung up and leaned back into his chair, arms crossed against his chest.

Something was up.

And he was going to get to the bottom of it.

________

Tails was not picking up the phone.

It added some difficulty to Sonic’s dinner search. He wanted to know what the kid wanted to eat.

But at the same time, Tails was never a picky eater. Sonic knew he would eat anything he brought, even if it was absolutely disgusting. 

And the hedgehog was pretty sure he had bought more than enough food to the point where he could share with Tails and still have leftovers.

But the brotherly part of him told his to get something the kid wanted.

Sonic pushed the Chinese takeout bags further down his arm. Tapping on his communicator, he tried to get ahold of his little brother yet again.

It rang once.

Twice.

Three times.

Four-

“Hello?”

Sonic sighed with relief. “Jeez, kid. What took you so long to pick-“

“You’ve officially reached my voicemail. I got you there, didn’t I Sonic?”

The hedgehog glared at his communicator in response to the kit’s smug voice coming from the speakers. 

“Leave me a voicemail, would you?”

Beep.

“If you’re not gonna answer the phone, you’re just gonna get this takeout, buddy.”

Pausing for a moment, Sonic sighed. “You’ve been off today, Tails. I wanna talk about it when I get home, okay?”

Hanging up, the hedgehog glanced at the sky. “Come on buddy, talk to me,” he whispered.

________

“Hey buddy, I’m back!”

No response. 

The workshop was eerily quiet. No tinkering, no food cooking in the kitchen…

Nothing.

And that’s when Sonic noticed the bloody pawprint on the wall. It looked dry now.

Something had happened.

The hedgehog sprinted through the different rooms in Tails’ workshop. Nothing in the kitchen, nothing in the kit’s bedroom, nothing in the-

Bathroom. 

A thick stream of half-dried blood trailed out of the bathroom. A jagged knife laid on the ground. The bathtub was murky with bloody water.

Sonic felt his ears press to his head. He was afraid to touch anything.

Whatever happened, it wasn’t good.

He followed the red line out of the bathroom and into the main room, where he was greeted with a sight that he would never forget.

He didn’t hear the cry that exited his throat as his eyes fell on the corpse of his beloved friend.

The fox was laying on his side on the wooden floor, an oversized puddle of blood surrounding his small frame. The kit’s dusty grey eyeswere half closed, and his lips formed a small smile. The Miles Electric was on the floor, just above the kid’s head.

Sonic dropped to his knees, gently touching Tails’ face. 

He didn’t mind the blood that smeared against his hands as he gently held the kid’s head in his arms.

Sonic stared into his vacant eyes.

They weren’t the bright blue he remembered.

Sonic gently put the fox down and slid the Miles Electric to himself. When he unlocked the device with his gloveprint, the first thing that he saw was the phone call screen.

There was a call to Vector from last week, and Tails had missed a call from Amy yesterday.

There was a more recent phone call.

The last thing that Tails had done was call Sonic.

The last thing he had done was talk to his brother.

He had compared them to fish who depended on each other and watched each other’s backs and loved each other.

Sonic’s Angelfish was gone.

And as he gently picked his kid’s cold body up and covered him with a sheet, the tears spilled over.

Snorkeling at the Royal Haciendas

I came upon a school of French Angelfish while snorkeling today. A few of them still had the last of their juvenile stripes. Always something to see underwater!
