I was in the local fish shop yesterday and went over to check out what angelfish they had in stock and i noticed this


now i'm no expert on fish but i don't think that any shop should have that for sale unless its some new strain that I've never seen before. All there other fish were a good size and I'm supprised that it has even lived to this size

Maybe it's related to blinkey from the Simpsons lol
 
I'm pretty sure it's the out come of incest

That is a horrifyingly deformed angel...

It is a new strain, but one that was excessively inbred to create the belly. They are going to be fragile as a result.
 
I couldn't imagine anyone intentionally breeding that trait... But you never know
Oh?

I understand they breed the balloon belly trait, but I couldn't see a sunken belly being desirable to anyone. Just my 2 cents
I see this as being very similar to the balloon belly. All their orgajs are shif r ed forward a bit
 
That's abominable. Whether intentional or not, that fish shouldn't be sold. Just like the balloon fish.
