You probably never even knew this fish existed - come to that, neither did I! They do look like one of the most characterful fish I've ever seen, they have a long nose and what looks like very heavily made up red lips! Only thing is, it's only the males who have the made up lip! Scientists think that this is all down to the males trying to attract the females. Although, these fish can't swim - or at least not very well! Even though they're not great swimmers they can walk along the ocean floor using their fins as make shift legs. They're actually quite rare -you can only really find them around the Galapagos Islands, but don't worry they're harmless! The question is, what do you think of their lips?
