ratfish markings

Post by spatman »

are the lines on this ratfish's face typical? they look like scars to me. like maybe this is Rato Rey, the head cholo from the Pescado Loco gang after they've defended their turf from Los Pinche Pulpos...

Yes, very normal. I had to go back through my pictures to double check - and every single one had those lines!

Sorry, no cool story behind your ratfish...
