Another fish ID

[imagirlgeek]

Anyone know what this guy is?  We've had him for a while...he came with a tank we bought, but Spot saw him recently and inspired us to try and find out exactly what he is.  He's got an interesting face.  If you need other angles, I have more pics, but here's one to start.

Exactly!!  A miniature, plump manatee!!  That's what he reminds me of!!  I never could put my finger on it until you just said that!  

And he is always like that!  This isn't after mealtime or anything.

Reminds me of a Lionhead Goldfish, without seeing it in person.
Adorably ugly critter. :)

I'm thinking he's somewhere between 6" - 8"?  I can't be sure since I'm at work and can't walk over to measure him.  :)

Here's more pics!

Re: Another fish ID

  Thanks Loretta!  I'll tell him you said so!  He was really posing for those top 2 photos.  Seriously!  The 3rd photo was the first one I took, and after that he turned to look straight at me, and I swear, he was totally posing.

Re: Another fish ID

he's the cutest miniature walrus-manatee-koi-lionhead goldfish-pleco that I've ever seen!   If you ever need tankspace, just let me know  .  I looked for matching photos this weekend of him and didn't find anything like him.  I didn't have time to look too hard tho - was moving my last 3 fish tanks to my house.  

Thanks for posting the pics!  Now whenever I need a pick-me-up during the day, I can look at your cutie-pie and it'll be impossible not to smile :).
