Pretty damn freaky! Yeah, I agree, you have the pics, put it on YouTube and get it out there and see if you can get noted for some sort of record. It's true, these kinds of animals usually die. This is not actually a siamese twin, because siamese twins are actually two fully functioning living beings who are attached, but this extra critter looks like it probably isn't functioning as far as having a head and brain, but it has a stomach, so it's probably feeding off the larger fish, so it's considered more of a non-invasive parasitic body. Just one of those freaks of the genetic gene pool world of interbreeding and pretty damn interesting!

it looks to be that the egg your fish was from didnt separate properly.. happens in all sorts of animals.. frogs.. i'm sure the fish is fine and since it doesnt seem bothered enjoy the weirdness.. maybe check around at local aquarium stores see if they wanna buy it for show..

well i'm sure not an expert but do you think it could be something like how humans can be conjoined twins, joined at a certain part of the body? maybe its just a growth and its nothing. itt pretty much could be just about anything!

wow.. thats really strange I read once somewhere you can separate them but I dont really recomend since you dont know if they share some organ or something, just let it be hehe.. is it alive? well I guess if its growing and getting color it is alive.. good luck
this is a website dedicated to fishtank maybe you can ask them

throughout the time of background there have been bills of toddlers born with their twin linked to them. not siamese twins, however the twin it extremely is linked is smaller and deformed and is feeding off the "host" twin to stay alive. which potential the host twins organs could artwork two times as stressful to maintain the two itself and its twin alive. maximum of those toddlers dont stay very long, and infrequently make it to adulthood. as quickly as I observed the percentit made me think of of that. possibly thats what that's.

Wow.. weird. Try to google it? It could be a growth, or it could be like a Siamese twin?

HERNIA...
actually I am certain he may have just had a birth defect as many animals do with their two heads and two tails and extra limbs and what-not...
