Has anyone noticed in the edit your profile settings the following new feature?

Angel fish, Sea horse, Barnacle, Starfish, Lobster, Octopus are some of the choices

Does anyone know what they are for? If so can you enlighten the rest of us

Edit: But what purpose are they serving as in nothing is visual so what are people going to use it for?

I dont know what it means, seems like a play on the fish themes to me... I suppose the oldies could be barnacles... the Lecherous ones would be Octopus' (or octopi????), those who have a bit of a spiteful side could be lobsters... and complete Ar$eholes would be starfish of course

Which did i chose?? Angelfish of course

i've just had a look at them and if you can see it they all have certain traits in the name that can be put to human personalities,

but im not sure whos going to admit to being a shark or a paranah

ive put seahorse, but thats cos i love them not cos i think i have a shared personality with them, cos i didnt pass on my kids to their dad to be born

but having said that, i dont mind my kids being looked after by others in the family so maybe i am like them, and if i did have the choice would i have passed my kids on to be born by their dad????

YES to bl00dy right i would

The type of fish you choose is displayed in your header. I've chosen sunfish, simply because today is sunny.

I am now "Georgiegirl2007 - THE SUNFISH"

I would like a bit more info about what they are supposed to represent.

I would say that it means you have a sunny disposition GG

I might be wrong, but i feel they are clearly a little bit of fun as to which fish we would see ourselves as...
Turtles are the plodders, but determined cos they always get there in the end
Sharks, says it all really hahaha
There is something about a "bottom" something on there... God only knows who would admit to being one of those... and as for a blowfish

Maybe there should be more.. Seaslugs maybe, what are those things called that go around collecting and devouring peoples left overs??

It comes up next to your site name in colours such as seahorse - green

Maybe Admin or a moderator will let us know in due course what they do if anything

I think I will have problems deciding what to be out of the list given

Maybe I will be a ..... Big mouth bass or a jellyfish...

well foxy I've just taken from wikpedia


The ocean sunfish, Mola mola, is the largest bony fish in the world. It is a unique pelagic fish, and specimens of ocean sunfish have been observed up to 3.3 m (11 ft) in length and weighing up to 2,300 kg (5,100 lb).[1]

A member of the order Tetraodontiformes, the ocean sunfish has many derived characters and is the type species of its genus.

The ocean sunfish feeds on jellyfish and other gelatinous, soft bodied zooplankton, as well as small fish and other marine life.


I'm not so sure about being the largest bony fish inthe world, but the eating smaller fish might be accurate!

The larger species are also quite bold and seemingly fearless; they are known to approach divers. While the majority adapt easily to captive life, some are specialist feeders which are difficult to maintain. Feeding habits can be strictly defined through genus, with Genicanthus species feeding on zooplankton and Centropyge preferring filamentous algae. Other species focus on sessile benthic invertebrates; sponges, tunicates, bryozoans, and hydroids are staples.


OK... i am definately the top bit...




They are diurnal animals, hiding amongst the nooks and crevices of the reef by night. Some species are solitary in nature and form highly territorial mated pairs; others form harems with a single male dominant over several females. As juveniles, some species may eke out a living as cleaner fish. Common to many species is a dramatic shift in coloration associated with maturity


Blimey... read into that what you will those who know me


Im going, im supposed to be leaving for work in 2 minutes but i still have a towel on my head

I think i'll research the fish later, and perhaps become something a little less sunny!

But then again, maybe I should go with my initial choice, there must have been something about it that drew me to it. Your gut instinct is always very strong for a reason.

Maybe i do wish to prey on the smaller more vulnerable species.

Actually I think I'll stick with the sunfish

The ocean sunfish's unique ability to suck and spit water with its mouth helps it while feeding.
- couldn't that be a useful skill!!!!!!!

Gudgeon isn't on there, so I'm not chosing one.

What purpose do you think this latest 'feature' has? I certainly don't know!
Perhaps all us laydeeeez should list ourselves as Sucker Fish - the mail is BOUND to come rolling in, then!

Well, I couldn't find the link in my actual 'edit profile' page, but I found a tiddler of a link on the general page, clicked on that and theres a link to a thread in there.
Hmmmm, then I clicked on the members in here who have the 'fish' of their choice on their profile and expected to find, maybe, an image of it on the profile page, or even a description of what that fish means.. but no, nothing, and it [/]does look a bit odd sandwiched between the username and profile header..

I'll pass on this
