Attention, Amazon Echo owners: You can now purchase an Alexa-enabled Big Mouth Billy Bass that wirelessly connects to your smart speaker.
That's right. Developer Brian Kane is finally getting his wish. Back in 2016, Kane hacked the iconic singing fish to be a mouthpiece for Alexa.
Now, right in time for the holiday season, Big Mouth Billy Bass is becoming a certified Alexa gadget.

The only catch is that you will need to connect it to an Echo for it to work. The other caveat is that it only works with Amazon-made Echo devices.
The fish itself will react, respond, and dance along with the commands you dictate. It will lip sync the responses, which is, frankly, pretty terrifying no matter how you look at it.
Singing is one thing, but the fish talking as Alexa might be too much.

We can't imagine that is the healthiest way to say, "Hello world, time to start another day!" But of course, to each their own.
It's unclear if Big Mouth Billy Bass will dance to literally every response or just music, but the Amazon listing makes it clear that it will dance to songs on Amazon Music. Even more surprising, it should receive updates post-launch as well.
If you're o-fish-ally interested in what will certainly be a weird and memorable gift, pre-orders are open now with a Dec. 1 release date.
At a minimum, it's yet another oppor-tuna-ty to expand Alexa in your home.
