I Found This Mean Guy
I was walking through the LFS and they had some new fish in. I happened to look over this guy:
He is a vampire tetra. I went to look them up, and I found that they turn into this:
Yeah, scary! Just wanted to share!

Strangely enough I use this show to fall asleep also. I dont know what it is but i put on netflix pick any episode and off i go to snore land  Dont get me wrong i like the show very informative and I like how he does catch & release if he killed them i wouldnt watch the show anymore.

Good to know I'm not the only one! I love the show, too, but if I'm sleepy his voice is like a lullaby, even though he is usually talking about some serious nightmare fuel of a fish. His accent is just so smooth and soothing. I like that he does catch and release, too. It would be a shame if all those monster fish were killed.

He actually did let one tribe or whatever keep a fish that he caught. Didn't want to, but it was food for them to survive off of so I think in that case its alright by me!

True. Eating it is one thing, making a tacky trophy is another thing altogether.
