So that one fish may be fighting with the only other fish in the tank 'cause he's lonely? According to a recent study, certain species of fishies fight more and act less like themselves when they have few friends along for the ride swim.
The research examined a 2.6-gallon tank filled with either one fish, two fish, five fish, or 10 fish.

Holy moly, look how big that Whale Shark is! In case you've forgotten, it's the same creature held in the world's biggest fish tank and is the largest living species of cartilaginous fish.
So how do you transport two (!) of these gigantic specimens?

I appreciate the privacy my walls and windows provide, so why not give the same to your fish? This modern aquarium by designer Teddy Luong, called House Within a House (for obvious reasons), lets your fish live in a luxurious apartment complete with pearly white walls on the exterior, and a modern maple wood finish on the inside. But don't let the sleek aesthetic fool you, this is a legit fish tank, and one that you can expand upon: each tank is stackable so you can build that deluxe apartment high-rise your fish have always dreamed of movin' on into.

That's one stunning face on this new species spotted last year off the coast of an island of Indonesia. The "psychedelica" belongs to the frogfish family but has a unique look all its own, covered with swirling white and blue concentric stripes on a peach background. Divers off the coast of Ambon island described it as moving away from them in a series of short hops, like "an inflated rubber ball bouncing along the bottom."

Be honest, when's the last time you set foot in a phone booth? I couldn't even tell you where to find the closest one to my home, but I definitely wish I could say this super cool aquarium was nearby.
As part of France's Lyon Light Festival, this ordinary looking booth was transformed into a not-so-ordinary fish habitat by artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino, who explain: With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused.

I have a good friend that will travel to great lengths to get the best sushi. Her favorite restaurant is here in SF (she lives about 25 miles outside of town), and she swears by their salmon and yellowtail. Little does she know that her raw fish obsession is one she shares with killer whales!

I think this guy looks like he belongs on a Christmas tree, but this sea crab is just one of the hundreds of new sea creatures discovered off the coast of Tasmania. From crabs to starfish to octopus, these new species were recorded in two separate mile-deep voyages in 2006 and 2007.
Not only did voyagers find new species of animals under the sea, they also discovered miles of coral that is thought to be about 2,000 years old, providing life and food to many creatures.
