      Any that I think could be useful. The sunfish is very interesting because they’re very big and swim in a strange way. Someone else in my lab is doing research with manta rays and one of the submarines we’ve built together copies the knife fish.

      Some of the most efficient swimmers though are tuna fish or possibly dolphins or a breed of whales (which I’m sure you know are mammals not fish).
