What kind of fish are you?

[Square Wheels]

Where I was I was a medium sized fish in a huge pond.

I got a similar offer for a slightly smaller pond.

I hoping for an offer as a bigger fish in a really small pond.

I am a big fish in a fairly decent sized pond but there are hazards.

My prior big pond was full of hazards,  one proved to be fatal.

The small pond I'm considering seems to be very low in hazards.

I am a bottom feeder 

I look up at the carp

I’m a fish in the fish store looking for a new home!

I think you're in the tank next to me.

Small angelfish. I'm not wrestling like the carp that gets big and aggressive, to kick other strangers out.  Just looking to cruise through the water before going to new tropical digs. I like swimming through tiny fake castles. I finally figured it out ...fake castles.

No he's in the same tank.   You though it was hazardous at work.   Fish tanks can be deadly,  (not safe to watch if you don't eat sushi)

I'm like a  fairy basslet in a great lake (if they lived in the Great Lakes) - colorful but inconsequential.

I am a medium sized fish in a very small pond..., in a puddle really.

I think we should go to Squarewheels' pond..to party wherever he ends up.  Pool party for fish.

They do end their days on sailboat decks so I hope so.

I am more like a mole on Whack a Mole than a fish in water.

I was the big fish in a small pond. I own the pond and found it to be hard work to maintain it so I rented most of it out.  Then I was a fish out of water and ended up with sheep so I still have lots of work. This retirement thing isn't as easy as I was told it would be.

My little angelfish got big and ate all his tank mates.

I had some angel fish and the same thing happened.  They got big and were a holes and killed off any other fish I put in my tank (50 gal).  I just had the angels & a pleco for a few years until those feckers died.  I then restocked a communal tank.

Not so much a fish as a crustacean...

I was a medium fish in a small pond. I’m finding out I was bigger than I thought based on communication recently from both the big fish there and the schools of fish I protected. 
I moved to a bigger pond and found I was a little fish again but I’m growing to fit the pond.

Gefilte fish. 

[Mr. Beanz]

I'm a growing fish in a small pond. 

Actually about 3rd biggest fish on the force. Surprised that some of the fish that have been there for years and years ask me to help them do and organize things. 

That's ok because this fish likes ice-cream and accepts it as payment for helping others.

My new cow-orker is like that. Just very good at what he does so he has sort of taken over. He works aboot 12 times as hard and smart as me since I am old and shot out.

Through high school and undergrad college, I was intellectually one of the big fish in a small pond.

Then I went to grad school at IIT on a scholarship and teaching assistantship - along with about 25 other Chemistry TA's who were as smart or smarter than me.  In one class, "Peptides, Proteins, and Amino Acids," I got the only A but that just preserved decent status and rescued my ego: I was definitely one of the little fish in the big pond.  Still, it was kind of like the Big Bang Theory or Scorpion where people with high IQ's relax together over beer and pizza and argue passionately about trivial things like, "How bright, as seen from Earth, was the Supernova of 1054 AD, which created the "Crab Nebula"?  We really did stuff like that and, ever since, I've missed the level of group intellect and knowledge that went into those discussions.

Medium fish in a very big pond 70,000 employees. I like where I’m at and hope to be there 5 more years until retirement. 
 

At home, I’m definitely in the top two of the fish world.

Within my "core team", I'm a medium-large fish.  My boss is the bigger fish, and then there is the CEO, so close enough to be - when in an office - mixing and mingling with the sharks, but in good ways and bad, not the one with the heavy crown on my head.

I blame @sheep_herder  for this. He didn't tell me that raising sheep was very hard work for a retired fish.
