Wonderful pictures!
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

That's a prettier fish than I expected an Abei to be. I love that last one! It's just dying for a cartoon caption, lol.

The last one is in such bad quality so i couldn't be arsed removing the "spots", which are actually food crumbles. In the second pic I definitely think they belong. It shows how messy eaters puffers are :D

Thanks everyone!
