Why is that picture of a completely different species of fish

[–] Slatlun@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

What species do you think is pictured? Looks like young salmon to me.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Apparently those are young Atlantic Salmon?

Probably shouldn't swim on cocaine.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's much easier to swim in water.

I bet that class would be much more enjoyable on cocaine, though. Or powerful hallucinogenics.

Could definitely get your heart rate up

An odd thing to see.

Time to pour some Columbian White into the rivers.
