article cleanup

I removed the following for lack of relevance:

  • "Other notable walkers are handfish, who use their pectoral fins to walk about on the sea floor. Their modified fins have the appearance of hands, hence their name."
  • "Another animal with confusing name is flying gurnard, which does not actually fly, but can walk instead (although flying fish do exist)."

This article is supposed to be about fish that walk on land. I think 'handfish' could be a 'see also' item.

Furthermore, the alleged fact that "many" walking fish are invasive species is not supported within the article. I think the subject is interesting, but this article is in need of a re-write, starting with its organization. - IstvanWolf 23:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also... fish from mars?

Hmmmm.
