Busline Fish
Busline fish are large fish species that act as taxis for other smaller fish, taking them across the oceans. They are a common species in the open oceans, gliding their way on the surface of the sea. One of many domesticated fish species, many people enjoy taking this fish and enjoying the scenery.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Busline fish have a segmented body, each year they grow another segment, defining their age. Their scales are a pale blue with few pink/purple stripes. Each body segment has a pair of pectoral fins and one short dorsal fin. On each side of the segments are scaly pockets, similar to kangaroo pouches. These allow other fish to sit in the pouches and ride along the busline fish. For bigger fish, people a few metres long can fit in the pouches.
Growth Rate & Stages
Busline fish give birth to eggs which are stored in the females pouches, put in there by the males. The eggs hatch after 2 weeks of sitting in the pouches, and the babies remain in and close to the pouches for the first few weeks until they get too big to fit.
Ecology and Habitats
Open oceans are the best location for busline fish. They have plenty of room to filter feed, and to swim with their incredibly long, snake like bodies. They also have been seen in kelp forests, swimming through the kelp at a slow pace.
Additional Information
Domestication
Being a docile, slow mover means domestication was far from difficult. Having enough food is enough to satisfy these fish, and filter feeders have food pretty much anywhere in the oceans.
People use this creature and its pouches to go for slow rides through scenic areas around where they live. This practice is very popular, most people experiencing it few times in their life.
