WHEN READING ABOUT THE BABEL FISH, THE QUESTION ARISES IF THE PHISH IS ALSO JUST A SPECIES, OR DOES IT CREATE A NEW CLASS IN THE PHYLOGENETIC TREE?

There are many ways to think about the Phish, as a species, as a whole new class within the phylogenetic tree, or as a digital code. Considering that I want to keep the connection between offline and online, I started looking into the biological aspect of the Phish first. 

 

If it would be a species within the class of fish we already know, What would it look like?

 

I asked a marine biologist to help me out with this question. He came up with the idea of the angler fish, which would fit in the class of the gnathostomes (jaw mouths) Ray-finned (boney) fishes. They would have been evolved within this class to not just light up the animals close to them, but specifically humans. 

or as it would be in dutch: de phish licht mensen op.

Its natural habitat could perhaps be found on the deep web instead of the deep sea.
