Fred

Fred is a dark-green/brown fish who commonly complains "MY LEG!" after any major accidents he encounters. His name is revealed in "Patty Hype". Two of Fred's friends are Tom and Nancy. Fred is employed at Shady Shoals rest home as a janitor but this was in a dream. He regularly visits the Krusty Krab on his lunch break, and he was the first customer to try SpongeBob's "Jelly Patty," and even sang a song about it. He also appears in the episode "Karate Island." He was also part of Squidward's band in the episode, "Band Geeks"; however it is hinted that he died or was seriously injured when he collided with a blimp while twirling a flag. In three episodes, it is indicated that he may be wealthy. In "One Krab's Trash" he offers Mr. Krabs one million dollars for a hat. In "All That Glitters," he owns an expensive spatula which he sells to SpongeBob. In "Squilliam Returns," he is in the group in which Squilliam Fancyson takes to Squidward's 5-star "restaurant," suggesting that he is friends and/or does business with Fancyson. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence. In "The Sponge Who Could Fly" he made fun of SpongeBob and clucked like a chicken towards him. In "The Chaperone", he is shown to have many relatives. In "Bossy Boots", he is seen driving a boat with a pink fish, suggesting he's married. He dies like Kenny from South Park, because they are always destroyed but are brought back to life always.
