I, for one, welcome our new hermaphroditic, air-breathing, tree fish overlords.
If I ever see one of these guys for sale, I may have to buy one.

It did--but it's incorrect as far as science is concerned--it's called the Mangrove Killifish, Kryptolebias marmoratus. (It used to be called Rivulus marmoratus, which is the name of the fish given by the article...)

interesting
I read that in the newspaper yesterday, but they mistakenly called it a 'Kilish' not a killifish...
