The Meta-Fish at Steemit

We all know the five common fish types that roam the Steemit waters. Here is a picture I cut from Steemitboard of them:

You have the Red fish, the minnow, the dolphin, the orca and the whale.

Here are the lists of vests for each:

Again, these are taken from @arcange's Steemitboard (actually an old post so might not be relevant but no matter). Pretty cool. I don't know what category you are in but, I am a dolphin. I became a dolphin, albeit a little one, by working pretty hard to get enough SP and hopefully I am doing a relatively decent job of helping others too.

But, This post is about the two other lesser known fish in the waters. These other two are special as they can live alongside any of the other five in some kind of symbiotic relationship. Here they are here:

Even though they can appear anywhere, the Sell-fish rarely makes it past redfish level, for obvious reasons as everything they earn, they immediately take out to market and sell. In old age, the Sell-fish often metamorphoses into the regret-fish due to very bad foresight but excellent hindsight.

Its larger cousin, the confusingly named Selfish often acts similarly yet does have the foresight to see the value in the future but, fails to see that helping others helps them too. Instead, they spend all of their time in FOMO collecting and none of their time sharing. Different to the regret-fish, in old age, they often become a lonely-fish, albeit with a lot of holiday shells to visit.

Both the Sell-fish and the Selfish are common in the waters, sometimes hard to spot but hopefully in time, their presence will diminish as the corners of the pools they collect from dry up. Of course, they are both very resourceful fish and will find new and innovative ways to keep their good thing going however, with too many of them they will suffocate their supply and all of the fish feeding from the pool will die together.

This is just a little bit of something silly and the image took me way too long to create in paint :D But, what kind of other fish are there in these waters? Which ones do you think harm the ecosystem and which help? What kind of fish do you want to be?

Now you know why I am serious most of the time. I am not funny.
