M is for Maingano cichlids!
This week's theme was "Fish starting with the first letter of your name". There are so many M cichlids, but the bright stripes on Maingano are definitely a standout. This is a male, identifiable by yellow egg spots on it's anal fin!

The long spined porcupinefish can of course inflate itself and its neurotoxin-tipped spines as a means of warding off predators. However, it is also sometimes known to use its inflation technique to wedge itself into crevices when it rests!

Childcare can be tough no matter your species - just ask the mouthbrooding cichlid moms!

Females of several cichlid species hold their developing young inside their mouths until they hatch, making feeding impossible - so Mom may go without eating for weeks

While not classified as endangered, the orange roughy population is rapidly declining due to overfishing. This may be exacerbated by it's long lifespan; they reach maturity at ~20years.

Fish described in 1988 is the theme.
Darters are always a favorite of mine. Here is Etheostoma pyrrhogaster - the firebelly darter, from the Obion and Deer Fork drainages of Kentucky and Tennessee.
