Synopsis:
Aquaman is seen gathering fish specimens and placing them aboard an alien ship. He explains that the aliens are gathering subjects for their aquarium and have threatened to kill Aquaman if he refuses. The world is stunned when they learn that Aquaman is betraying his fish friends. After the aliens leave Earth, Aquaman explains the most of the fish had been substituted with dummies. Only an octopus named Lopo who wanted to travel in space was sent with the aliens.
