Porcupine fish

I am so sorry about the mistake but it is a porcupine fish, instead of a puffer fish, though they are both related. Thanks for all the comments! :) I will reply them as soon as possible!

Wow...that actually makes me feel uncomfortable, the way the "it" looks at me and all of that spikey things. B-)

Love the great depth on this picture, I think that's what makes this shot a success.

Hey is this the poisonous fish? or what? LOLX im so confused. Anyway really good capture of this fish. Very sharp and u got the fish looking at u.

@Levine: It is the porcupine fish, which is related to the puffer fish (sorry, my mistake!!). And some species are poisonous.

Scary, and guess that was the essence of the shot. To scare us probably ;-) Lovely closeup shot here pal. Dunno, but just could not stop thinking, how would this creature look with spectacles ?? :-)

Just like a toy!
Wonderful DOF.

11 Jun 2007 4:48pm

@miu*: They were dried porcupine fishes being sold as souvenirs. So it is in a way a toy :)

Evelyn from New Milford, United States

oh dear...that's a bit grotesque. Is that from an aquarium gift shop? Looks like a fake plastic eye.

12 Jun 2007 7:34am

@Evelyn: Yup, it is a fake plastic eye and they were selling them as souvenirs.

Anup from Bangalore, India

Nice catch

Johnny Soedomo from United States

heheh.... i looked at the fish closely... yeah... the eyes are fake.. so I assume it's not a real fish.... at first I was amazed... so close with the fish, and so clear :) but I've to say... nice macro shot :)

14 Jun 2007 8:31pm

@Johnny Soedomo: I think they were real fishes - however, they are dead and dried! Yeah, the eyes are fake!
