Sort of on-theme bluntnose minnows can live up to five years, but they're also one of the most popular bait fish, so they'd have to dodge a lot of predators' mouths to reach those advanced ages!

Unfinished Bluehead Chub for This fathers day, spare a thought for the fish that, using only his mouth and a lot of determination, builds a huge mound of stones (often several feet across in less than 24h!) to protect his eggs, and guards them until they hatch.

I am out of town this weekend, so today's is something very different than what I normally do: an unfinished illustration of an imaginary fish. Maybe I'll finish it one day...but knowing me, probably not

Met a new kind of fish in a restaurant aquarium yesterday. The mirror carp is notable for having irregular scale patterns— much of their body is smooth, but they have enormous mirror-like scales in uneven patches across their backs and sides.

A sturgeon for today's theme of fish that breed in the spring. I did this one a few years ago that was made into decals placed on the floor of the Belle Isle Aquarium when their sturgeons arrived. I think that some of them are still there.

For this week's themed here's a fish familiar with some construction! The hornyhead chub gets its name from the thorny protrusions on its head that help them move rocks when building their nests!
