Is this fish eaten by people? As it seems relatively easy to care for and raise, and 3.5 kilos is a decent size too.

I guess t could be consumed by people, but seeing since it lives in polluted waters the flesh may not be the healthiest thing to consume. XD

Here is a scientific name for you.

Phycopurus sp. (meaning "Algae-cleaner")


What do you think?

Another if only this could happen....a very creative idea! We have many carp in our lake here and over the last 5 or 6 years there have been serious concerns over green/blue algae blooms. If only a carp would evolve that would ingest this toxin and use it to its advantage. Great drawing and idea!

Thank you so much! I do have many more animals planned, just not enough time to sit down and put them to paper.

You're so welcome!! Yes I know what you mean by that. I have a couple of amazing ideas floating around in my head right now for sculptures, I just need to find the time to sit down and bring them to life.

Yeah, sometimes it feels like you would need more than just 24 hours in a day, haha.
That's really nice though, care to share what sculptures you have in your head so far? I've seen those you've done already, and they're really cool!

I definitely need a 36 hour day...haha.Β  One is a Caribbean mermaid the other is an octopus-woman hybrid. I really like octopus tentacles. Thanks so much!

That would be nice, lol.
Oh, that sounds really interesting! I bet the design on the mermaid will be fun to play around with. Maybe the octopus-woman will be something similar to Usula, haha.
