Why is that picture of a completely different species of fish

Slatlun@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 116d

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

Apparently those are young Atlantic Salmon?

Probably shouldn't swim on cocaine.

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

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