Ooooo this guy is setting up a tank for some gummy sharks! Personally I find that they do better in pina colada flavored slurpee, but they can survive in the cherry flavor with Coke as long as you don’t add in TOO much blue raspberry.

You would think that they are perfectly evolved to thrive in blue raspberry slurpee because of their coloring, but their natural habitat is mostly made of contrasting colors (like pina colada slurpee). This is because the fully mature gummy shark is still very tiny, so their natural defense against predators is a poison they can secrete from their skin when in danger from being eaten by other gummy fish. The bright colors serve as a warning to them to STAY AWAY! DO NOT EAT!!! Additionally, blue raspberry slurpee is missing several key nutrients that these charming critters need to thrive.
