For most of us,like former me, our idea of fish is limited to the very popular ones like Tilapia, Catfish( I actually love this one to pieces especially when used to prepare spicy peppersoup in a cold day, you know what I'm saying .lol), Scubian, Shark(people actually eat it oh!) Mackerel and a couple of other.

However I would like to introduce you to a very fascinating type of fish.
Its called HORSE FISH.
Allow me show you some of its amazing qualities

1. It is the male that bears the unborn babies. Yeah you just read that! When the male and female mate, the female deposits her eggs in the pounch(acts like a womb) of the male and the male carries them and 'delivers' them when its time.

Weird right? Wait for No. 2

2. They mate for life. Only one partner for life, no girlfriend, no side chicks. Lolz. They practice monogamy to its core.

3. With their tiny little fins that is used in swimming they flutter 35times in a second. Wow!!!! And as if that is not enough here comes the shocker

4. They swim upright rather than horizontally.
And also they have independently moving eyes.
Wow!!! That's my idea of CRAZY!!! God is simply AWEsome... The way he made these creatures,its fascinating!!!

And oh so you would know, some people actually eat this fish. Yeah! They do. In fact according to ehow.com, they say humans are the largest threats to this creatures. In Asia, they use it for cooking and as an ingredient for medicine.

So now you know!!!
Next time you go to a restaurant, you might want to order you some Horse fish. #winks.
