Photogaleria captured this image of a fish saying hello... eating... singing... burping... coming for a kiss... er... well, I'm not entirely sure what the fish is doing, but that's one of the reasons I like the shot so much. I also like the purple-ish hue of its skin, the detail around its jowls (do fish have jowls?), and that the fish is looking right at me. That's creepy... no matter where I move my head, it looks like the eyes are following me.
If you have any pictures of fish coming for a kiss, please add them to Divester's Flickr pool, because we love affectionate fish.
1. I'm assuming this picture was taken in Lake Malawi. I'm not sure. African cichlids are pretty common aquarium fish. I had an aquarium full of them until it was lost in a breakup.
