Congrats to all the #SundayFishSketch-ers - you all deserve a gold medal for guessing the Olympic mudminnow! 🏅
Thanks for everyone's participation throughout this year’s #SundayFishSketch-#25DaysofFishmas team-ups! And to @Lampichthys for creating such a wonderful community!
🎶Everybody's gone sturgeon, Sturgeon USA🎶
While you might not be able to have a white sturgeon #Fishmas, chances are likely you're not too far from a species of sturgeon- there are 9 species/subspecies in N. America, all of which are found in the US #25DaysofFishmas
And with today's 'O'opu 'alam'o, we say goodbye to the southwestern US portion of the #25DaysofFishmas road trip. From a goby that climbs up waterfalls, to a pupfish that lives in 90°F water, the fishes of the southwest are a resilient bunch! On to the Pacific Northwest + Alaska!
Congrats to everyone who guessed "alligator gar" for this week's #SundayFishSketch-#25DaysofFishmas mash-up!
There are 3 big catfish species in North America (big in body size AND popularity): the channel, flathead, and blue catfish. Blue catfish are most often confused with channel catfish, but have a straight anal fin (the channel has a curved one) #25DaysofFishmas
An old #SundayFishSketch that fits this week's theme of "Fish that live inside other animals" - many species of cichlids are maternal mouthbrooders, meaning baby cichlids live in their mom's mouth until they are big enough to avoid predators!
Signed, eel-ed, delivered, I'm yours.

The threadfin rainbowfish (Iriatherina werneri) from tropical northern Australia and New Guinea scoffs at the idea that freshwater fishes are drab 🌈 #SundayFishSketch
