They are not speaking!
I think this is a Siamese Fighting fish?
Not sure what this handsome fish is?
It's a type of angelfish found in tropical waters around the world. I've seen them on the Great Barrier Reef. A drawing I made below.
Does anyone know which fish this is please?

A snow leopard at the San Diego Zoo in California has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Ramil, a nine-year-old male snow leopard, was tested for the virus after caretakers noticed that he had a cough and runny nose on Thursday.
The animal's stool sample was tested by the zoo staff and at a state-level lab, both of which confirmed the presence of the coronavirus, the zoo said in a statement on Friday.
Ramil is not showing additional symptoms. But because he shares an enclosure with a female snow leopard and two Amur leopards, the staff assumes they have been exposed. As a result, the animals were quarantined and their exhibit was closed.
It's unclear how Ramil got infected.
In January, a troop of eight gorillas at the zoo's sister facility, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, contracted COVID-19 from a keeper who had the virus but showed no symptoms.
The gorilla troop, which has since recovered, became the first known example of the virus infecting apes.
There is no vaccine mandate for the staff, but unvaccinated employees are required to wear masks at all times, the zoo said.
Earlier this year, the zoo received a batch of an experimental vaccine intended for use in protecting animals against COVID-19.
The zoo said its staff administered shots to species most at risk of contracting COVID-19, including several primates and felines. However, Ramil had not been vaccinated before his infection.
The dog was taken to Huckleberry Hound Dog Rescue, which renamed Nanook, and he was adopted by a family (pictured) within 24 hours
Instagram user ms.mojorising, who shared the video on the platform, said the person recording the video had called the police, and that the dog was taken to Huckleberry Hound Dog Rescue of El Paso.
There, the dog was named Nanook, and the shelter reported the husky was around 10 months old.
Within 24 hours Nanook was adopted by a family.
'I think he's doing us an active kindness by completing our family,' the family told KFOX. 'He's not lost anymore.'
The El Paso County Sheriff's office office announced the arrest on Friday of Luis Antonio Campos, 68, for his alleged role in abandoning a dog on the side of the road in Horizon City. The alleged crime was caught on video, and police said another arrest was expected
At least fakebook is good for something:
Never Give Up! Terrier Lost For 290 Days After Vacation is Found Thanks to Social Media
FindFisher/GoFundMe
You’re on vacation and somehow, your family dog goes missing. You search and you pray and then you search some more. As the days go by with no word, your brain may tell you it’s time to give up hope—but in your heart you never do.
And sometimes that hope is rewarded.
The Battista family of New York City was on vacation in Ocean City, Maryland when their 2-year-old Boston terrier Fisher went AWOL on July 4, 2020.
The Battistas immediately blanketed the area with missing posters, barraged social media, and even got Fisher face-time on a local floating billboard.
With no leads, the family decided to remain in the area for an extended stay. They hired a tracker and even went so far as consulting with an “animal communicator” in hopes of tapping into Fisher’s whereabouts using doggy ESP—all to no avail.
The family also set up a #findfisher Facebook page, which quickly gathered 8,000 followers, and launched an online fundraiser to raise awareness and aid them in their efforts to bring their beloved fur baby home.
“We’ve alerted Ocean City police, fire, beach patrol, postal service, Scopes, lifeguards—you name it!” Matthew Battista wrote to Fisher’s GoFundMe page.
“Signs have been posted from the inlet to 77th St, and we have extended our canvassing to the nearby Delaware beaches of Fenwick, Bethany, Dewey, and Reheboth. We’ve extended our stay in Ocean City and arranged to bring in a professional dog tracker, in addition to making continuous searching trips in car, on foot, and on bike.”
Although they eventually were forced to return home to New York minus Fisher, the Battistas refused to give up. But even with the massive media blitz, it seemed Fisher had pulled a full-on Houdini.
Undaunted, the Battistas kept the wheels of the Internet grapevine turning, refusing to let the details of Fisher’s disappearance be forgotten. As a result, Fisher became something of a media darling in absentia.
And that’s surely part of the reason the Battistas’ perseverance paid off.
On April 20, 2021, 290 days after Fisher made his unauthorized Independence Day exit, Baltimore City resident Wayne Horn was performing maintenance on his motorcycle when he noticed a stray dog in the road.
“I called him over because cars speed up and down my road,” Horn told Delaware Online. “He came over to me, so we gave him water. He laid down and was content, he didn’t want to leave.”
When a friend of Horn’s posted pix of the found pooch to Facebook the responses of “That’s Fisher!” came back faster than a boomerang.
Although the findings were later confirmed by a micro-ship scan, Elissa Battista recognized Fisher immediately. “From the moment I saw the photos I knew it was him from the markings and his little tongue sticking out,” she posted to Facebook.
The reunion was quickly arranged. The Battistas had some local friends pick him up from the Horns, and then Elissa made the five-hour trip to retrieve Fisher and bring him home. Apart from minor signs of possible frostbite, Fisher was in excellent shape.

The Battistas are so thankful to have Fisher back, they’re now doing their part to pay it forward, once again by using the powers of social media for good. The Facebook page formerly known as “Find Fisher” has been transformed into “Find Fisher’s Friends” and is now dedicated to helping other pet parents locate their lost four-legged loved ones.
The family has also pledged to apply any leftover funds from their GoFundMe to the charity of Fisher’s choice once he was safely back with his family. While we’re still awaiting “woof” on what that might be, the takeaways from this story seem clear:
Social media and microchips are powerful tools in reuniting lost pets with their families. Using both is the best chance of a happy outcome.
And while no reunion is guaranteed, if you’re thinking of giving up hope—don’t. Because more than anything, as Fisher’s 10-month walk-about proves, hope has no expiration date.
oops!
