The Tellyfish is a particular variety of fish that greatly resembles Telly Monster. In the song "Telly's Aquarium," he appears as one of Telly's several pet fish, providing some jazzy vocals to their musical number celebrating their home. As the song comes to a close, Telly arrives and comments to the camera about the strange resemblance between himself and his pet. He later appeared in Elmo's World: Fish, where he is treated as a new pet to Telly in his video e-mail to Elmo.
The puppet originally appeared in Episode 3653, where Wolfgang the Seal is granted the ability to turn anything his nose touches into a fish; Telly is an unfortunate victim of Wolfgang's new magical ability. In all other appearances of the puppet (including Elmo's World: Water and Episode 4049), the puppet is used as an imaginary fish version of Telly rather than a separate entity.
