lola


hmmm lola was a Beta... those are freshwater fish... they are in the ocean... oh well... i guess they have poetic license for a reason

dont take me wrong i really liked this movie but i just thought that was interesting

Lola isn't a beta. The designers have said that she was derived from a lionfish, which I believe dwells in salt water.

trust me she is a beta i asked a marine biologist

Trust me, she is a lionfish. You can even see the spines on the tips of her "hair." Keep in mind that she doesn't look a whole lot like a real lionfish because this is a cartoon, so you asking a marine biologist amounts to a whole lot of nothing.

They say she is a lionfish on the DVD, they say she is a lionfish in the DK Shark Tale Essential Guide, and sharktale.com says she is a dragon fish, which is often used as another name for lionfish.

You can even see that the patterns on their scales are similar.

yeah I'm going to agree she's a lionfish.

LavoDolphin is correct; Lola is a lionfish, not a betta. Even if she was a betta (and it's impossible because she lives in the ocean), the females are not the ones with the elaborate fins. She most definitely looks as if based on a lionfish, despite the fact that all of them are highly morphed and humanized.

Still, for a fish, that's one impressive makeup job!

Considering I'm an old fat guy who just crashed to the floor, I'm fantastic!
