    This is the most beautiful fish I have ever seen. This is a creature that I will dream about and only wish to meet. God did us all a favor by creating this one. It has truly touched me.

    This fish is extraordinary. I wish that it was posted where this was found. I could see how ancient chinese would think it a type of sea dragon. If anyone knows where these are found post it please!
