Koimeme

So that whole issue has been resolved, and STUTLER agreed to let me keep my species.
They aren't open 

This isn't even half of the info!

about the fish
fishfoxes aren't born with the fish. It is almost like a my little pony cutie mark, as once it finds its fish it begins to get its colors.
the fish becomes kinda part of its soul, as if the fish dies, the fishfoxes may too. (The fish does have a prolonged life)

about the life cycle
the egg is small, like a real fish egg
the tadkit stage lasts until the fish is united with them. Usually this stage lasts from one week to one month. also, the ears are back and against their head. It will stay this way until the adult stage. Tadkits can not leave water.
Young fishfox have. Their fish already. The scales begin earning color from the fish. They can also begin to explore land, although they aren't quite adapt for it yet.
adult fishfox earn a complete pattern and the ears perk upright. Plus the tail gets its bubble shape.
Old fishfox tend to have fading scales and grow whiskers, which are thick, like a kois. 

Ill add more info later!! 

THEY CAN BE ANY ANIMAL
