Don’t remember if she was recurring, but O’brien kept a Lycosa tarantula, named Christina.

Since I have no idea who guest is, becca gets the non-prize. Livingston shows up in that episode as some kind of jellyfish, and I’m pretty sure a devolved Riker was trying to eat him. Points to Mike, too, for getting the plot. For the record, although I’ve watched DS9 start to finish, I don’t remember Chester at all, and I think Porthos is out of Enterprise, which is a load of rubbish.

Yeah, the mutant one. Livingston would have presumably devolved into like a trilobite or something. Spot was central because her pregnancy made her immune, which gave Data the idea to use Dr. Crusher’s pregnant assistant to make a vaccine.

Who the eff is Chester though?

i know the other three – but who/what is chester?

and as for the other episode, i’m going to guess that it was either that animal-mutant episode, or the one where geordi cat-sits for spot. those are the only two episodes i can really think of that feature spot…

Yeah, I was kind of hoping that if someone was gonna look it up, they wouldn’t just post a wiki link :p… But there is still ONE more occasion in which Livingston the lion fish was not in his fishtank. Technically I suppose he was, but, what’s the episode? No cheating, but here’s a hint: I’m pretty sure that Spot, Data’s cat, was a key plot element.

Livingston was portrayed by a red lionfish (Pterois volitans) in nearly every appearance. Only in “Devil’s Due” did the fish change species and appear as a radial firefish (Pterois radiata)

Livingston, Spot, Chester, and Porthos.
