Day 4 of Fishuary!!! Back on track

Prompt: Surgeonfish

—

Featuring our beloved and iconic Dory!

The royal blue surgeonfish, paracanthus hepatus, goes by many names! More often than not, you’ll likely hear them referred to as blue tang, palette surgeonfish, or simply as ‘the Dory fish’! The ‘palette’ part of their name refers to the black-shaped marking on their body, taking the shape of an artist’s palette! Took me 18 years of life to realize that and it blew my mind.

Blue tangs are actually toxic to consume, thus why they are not seen on menus. This makes them poisonous, but they are venomous as well! They actually have two spines protruding from the sides of their tail which are coated in a venom. Typically, these wounds don’t swell much, as the swelling may be caused by allergies instead. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of information on this, but at least they can defend themselves!!

THE JELLYFISH AND THE PIRANHA ♡ MIYA ATSUMU

miya atsumu x gn!reader

"two orders of drinkable ice cream for miya atsumu and @qichun please!"

ingredients? knowing how much you love sea creatures, atsumu decides to take you to an aquarium for your first date.

what's it? fluff in the beginning and a hint of crack/humor by the end

allergen warnings? n/a

sugar level? 0.7k

regulars? @tokyometronetwork @tahonet

parlor's note? i adore sea creatures and i already had an idea like this on my notes so i really enjoyed writing this -- researching was also very enjoyable.

bon appetit!

atsumu was the one to suggest going to the famous osaka aquarium kaiyukan for your first date. as the black jackals' manager, the two of you have spent so much time together so the setter was well aware of how much you loved animals, sea creatures especially. "it's supposed 'ta be visually stunnin'" he said, when he asked you out, but right now as you stood in front of the tank of various colorful tropical fish, his eyes were elsewhere; the so-called visually stunning sight not at all in his line of sight. instead, his large brown orbs were focused on nothing but you.

he admired the way the blue hue of the water reflected on your face. your face was already glowing with happiness, a rare kind of sparkle in your eye that's only brought on by genuine happiness and the shades of azul lighting hightlighted your features making you look like flawless in atsumu's eyes.

he swore, he felt his heart stop when you turned to look at him with the sweetest smile on your face, "'tsumu! look, it's dory!" you beamed at him, pointing at the familiar looking fish, a school of palette surgeonfish also known as the blue regal tang, or dory as you so affectionately called it swam right in front of you in the great barrier reef tank of the aquarium.

"you" you look like you should be a model "you're such a child." he grumbled thankfully - he knew you would never let him live it down if he told you that on the first date - being able to catch himself mid sentence. "'course ya would say that the blue tangs are dory." he rolled his eyes.

you laughed at his reaction and shook your head. "oh please, you can't convince me that wasn't your first thought too."

you held his hand in yours and pulled him to the next fish tank.

it was then that atsumu thought taking you to an aquarium for your first date was fate and a genius decision on his part for more ways than one: firstly, going to this aquarium was on his bucketlist, supposedly one of the best attractions osaka offered so he killed two birds with one stone - and even better, he was able to share this moment with you - secondly, you were absolutely enamored with marine animals so this couldn't be considered a lazy date on his part - and although there was nothing wrong about some lazy dates, that was not how miya atsumu rolled. he was there to be the best, to be a one of kind, and undoubtedly the best you could ever have, and thirdly - the one he was the most thankful for - you cannot see him blush while you held his hand because of how dark it was.

according to the signage by the tank, this one is the ecuador rain forest tank. atsumu laughed at some of the fishes swimming about making you smack his arm lightly -- some people were starting to stare.

"that one's you." he said, pointing to the red piranha floating above a log-like decor, then paced steps ahead into the jellyfish tank. "and this one's obviously me." he pointed to a bolinopsis mikado.

you shot him a glare as he walked back over to where you stood. "you're so rude, miya. this is why our pr team prefers bokuto-san over you." you crossed your arms then went back to gazing at the fishes.

"aw, c'mon," he chuckled, wrapping his arms around your figure from behind and propping his chin on the top of your head. "ya should be flattered a gorgeous, mystical jellyfish like me hangs out with a piranha like you."

you narrow your eyes and immediately shrug away from his hold, making him stumble forward and pout at you.

"you know, miya, i usually kiss on the first date, but i think i'm gonna make an exception for you." there's no bite to your bark, only a light-hearted teasing, but atsumu trails behind you whining all the same.

Wolf eel dangerous

This is a riskier pairing, but it is possible. Even if the Snowflake is a baby and doesn’t touch the clownfish, when it grows up it will. In a smaller tank, this pairing is risky. But in a 200-gallon tank where the eel is fed consistently, this relationship could work. 8) Clownfish Clownfish By Itself With An Anemone | Photo 13861931 / Anemonefish © Calek | Ĭlownfish are smaller, non-aggressive fish that you might not think would pair well with an eel. This works for both of them because snails can also help break down the mess after an eels messy feeding. Eels won’t bother the snail and can thrive in the clean water that the snails help provide. They are a great addition to any tank because they can maintain healthy water quality for the fish. Snails will eat the algae build-up, dead plants, and food waste in your tank. 7) Snails Turbo Snail | Photo 167740187 / Snail © Voislav Kolevski | Sea urchins only use their spines for self-defense. However, it is your responsibility to make sure the fish, eels, and sea urchins in your tank are monitored and cared for since a scenario where a sea urchin feels threatened may prove dangerous for fish. It is unlikely the eel will eat the sea urchin. Sea urchins are known to be safe to keep with other fish including Snowflake eels. 6) Sea Urchins Blue Tuxedo Urchin | Photo 133515351 © Voislav Kolevski | Eels like to hide under rocks and stay there for most of the day. One reason a starfish would be a good fit with the eel in a big enough tank is that starfish need rocks to dwell on. However, with a big enough tank, the eel should not feel the need to attack the starfish and they could live in harmony. A starfish is an invertebrate and eels in the wild eat invertebrates. In a smaller tank, a starfish could be a quick snack for a Snowflake eel. 5) Starfish Red Starfish | Photo 3592212 © Olga Khoroshunova | Angelfish in general are considered semi-aggressive fish, and with their big size, they will not likely be bothered by the eel. Their maximum size in captivity is 12in and typically angelfish are meant to live in larger tanks which is also what is needed for the eel. 4) Angelfish Emperor Angelfish | Source: Deposit PhotosĮmperor, flame, and other kinds of angelfish are natives to the Indian and Pacific oceans just like Snowflake eels. Feeding the eel at night might work best as eels generally are more nocturnal and hide in their rocks all day. In some cases finding the appropriate feeding time for both fish is challenging as they may steal food from one another. The triggers typically will not attack the eels either. They are natural hunters and because of this, it’s hard to imagine an eel being able to swallow one for dinner. Triggerfish can be both big and aggressive. 3) Triggerfish Blackbelly Triggerfish | Photo 9004154 © Sergey Skleznev | Tangs are a kind of fish that show up regularly and there are not many reported challenges with acclimating them to Snowflake eels. Many aquarium owners however have responded to inquiries on forums about the best companions to a Snowflake eel. Tangs are typically peaceful fish, but a few can be known to be aggressive. Tangs are typically big enough not to be bothered by Snowflake eels. 2) Tangs Blue tang (Paracanthurus hepatus), AKA Palette surgeonfish, Regal tang | Source: Deposit Photos Both the eel and the lionfish would do well in a 200-gallon tank as both of them would have the proper space and habitat to live comfortably without getting in each other’s way. Also, its dorsal spines make it a turn-off as a meal for Snowflake eels. The lionfish need large tanks to dwell in just like the Snowflake eel. Lionfish also grow very large, reaching lengths between 6 and 18 inches. A user on a forum from has said that in their “aggressive tank, the lionfish is the only fish the Snowflake eel is indifferent to.” With the lionfish being an aggressive kind of fish, eels have been known to not mess with them. 1) Lionfish Lionfish | Photo 43303047 © Aurinko | To help you out, I have compiled a list of the best possible tank mates to pair with a Snowflake eel. Now as for finding the right tank mates for a Snowflake eel, this can be very challenging. Because of their large size and predatory nature, it can be tricky finding the right tank mates for their peculiar diet. Snowflake eels are beautiful, majestic creatures, capable of growing to be about 2ft long when they’re kept in an aquarium.

If I hear one more person call a powder blue tang ‘Dory’ I’m gonna cry. Acanthurus leucosternon, not to be confused with the palette surgeonfish, may share many physical similarities, though they are not the same! For starters, the shade of blue is not the same, they have white colouration on their underside (contributing to their scientific name), and I’m going to get way too into describing colours if I don’t stop now.

These guys are pretty common aquarium fish, and I can see why. They’re very beautiful!
