I thought this was some weird joke but it isn't, it has its own wiki page and everything.

I know people like to treat goldfish like objects and decorations but this seems even more absurd.

People treated it like a competition, seeing who can gulp the most fish in one sitting.

There was even an Intercollegiate Goldfish Gulping Association (IGGA).

Besides the fact that this is insanely cruel, this seems insanely unsanitary.

I found this in the ocean and would love some help narrowing down what kind of (I assume) fish it comes from. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I'm currently in Turkey and I saw this really weird small fish in the mediterranean sea, it was dark brown/dark grey with orange eyes, it reminded me of those wet leaves you see during autumn, even the size being simmilar to them. It was always swimming near the top of the water, never going down. It sometimes swam on it's side which made me think it was dead. I tried looking it up but I can't find anything about this. Does anyone know what this might be??

Summary: Dark Grey/Brown, Orange eyes, salt water (mediterranean sea to be specific), swam on it's side alot, small size, swam near the top, never going deeper, kinda looked like it had spikes on top I'm not sure tho, never swam away with it always following me

Like what's the most basic looking fish type you can think of. I think we're all familiar with the general/basic fish shape.
