Only Jim, and perhaps not even he...

To me the problem with fish like the Mandarin Gobi is that while when you see them in real life what makes them fascinating is that they look so unreal yet still exist. In the SS it's the more "normal" fish that look the best as you know what they look like and can easier appreciate how life-like they are. The more extreme species easily just end up looking too unreal even though they might be very good reproductions of the real thing...

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
