Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: The tat-lung seem to only swim in fresh-water, and cannot survive in salt-water... Most
people place them in simple shallow ponds for easy viewing. When Tat-Lung reach their "mature" stage of
life however, their bodies are no longer limited by the water it seems - and some can even take to the skies!
See details in breed differences for more information.
Diet: The tat-lung eat all sorts of bugs that stick to the surface of the water, and can be fed industrial fish
food... Once they reach their juvie stage of life, they start to eat smaller fish, and even (very shiny) stones
they find at the bottom of their pond. In their "mature" stage of life, the tat-lung seem to enjoy eating shiny
stones and gems - as well as fish, poultry, and fruit.. it really depends on the breed, so check below.
Call: The tat-lung make no known noise when they're babies - but when juvies, they can make a hissing
noise on rare occasions. Once the tat-lung reach their "mature" stage of life however, their vocals change
dramatically! Anywhere from a beautiful sound of a low gong or bell (or even whale-song), to the higher
pitches of a violin in it's most beautiful form... They can even make a growling rumble like thunder in the sky,
or hiss like the crack of electricity, or the serpents of hell!
Special Care Needs: There are no special care needs at the baby or juvenile stage of life - other than to
make sure to keep the water clean, and never let it freeze... In the "mature" stage hoewever... Well, they
require a lot more attention... But, such information has yet to be discovered - I hope you raised yours well!
Biology and Anatomy: Tat-Lung can only be described as beautiful, in any stage. With glossy, shining
scales, or shimmering fur, they almost immediately draw all attention to themselves, and hardly ever seem
to mind. Being as intelligent as they are, it's not uncommon for them to come across as vain, but who could
blame them? Each Tat-Lung breed is unique, but they all share some common characteristics. Large,
elegant heads, with wispy tendrils that form along the nose of the creature, and long ears. Most breeds
have horns that jut from their skull, and each year, they shed them for a new, larger, and even more
imposing pair. Long and lean, Tat-Lung are regal in their appearance, and very proud of themselves.
Behavioral Study: The tat-lung seem to be more intelligent than the average fish, but it's really had to tell, as
they tend to stay by themselves.. but those who are dedicated to training them know that they are perfectly
capable of being trained. When they mature however, they are magestic, beautiful - and hold the highest
amount of animal wisdom, to the point where one would swear they were more intelligent than humans!
They LOVE pretty things, and prize them more than most things in the world.
Suggested Uses: At this their younger stages of life, they seem to be nothing more than a neat pet to
display... However, when they reach their magestic "mature" stage, things change... Oh, how they change!
These creatures are FINE companions, and each one holds it's own special abilities.. you should read
below to help you understand them more.

| Breeds Available |
Pearl: Because of their beautiful coloration, the pearl were all adopted out! Terribly sorry if you missed your
chance. Pearl are also the most loving of the Tat-Lung, and will always love their owner. However, one must
be truely bonded with them to enjoy the wonders of their empathetic link.
Agate: The Agate is a curious breed - and though mighty, has quite a friendly disposition.
Lapis: The Lapis was the first to mature.. more information will be coming soon, after some more research
is done.... On that note, we'd like to thank Yamase for donating the original Jade eggs that the genetics were
borrowed and altered from - without that original egg, we wouldn't have these wonderful creatures with us
today.
Coral: The Coral love to live by the ocean-side, and also one of the most tempermental, just like the coming
tide.. sometimes it washes over your feet, and sometimes it sends forth in a crashing wave.
