Australia's salamanderfish (Lepidogalaxias salamandroides) is an odd one - this cylindrical-bodied fish can 'stand' on its pelvic/pectoral fins and also bend its neck to the side at a right angle, compensating for eyes that can't move independently

Whoops! I misread this week's as fish ONLY from Cypriniformes, Perciformes, or Cichliformes...

Here's some more aquarium fish:
🐟 Tetras are Characiformes
🐟 Corydoras catfish are Siluriformes
🐟 Livebearers are Cyprinodontiformes
🐟 Gourami are Anabantiformes https://t.co/zawHFW2IO4

In 2020, all of the 17 fish species endemic to Lake Lanao in the Philippines were officially considered Extinct or Possibly Extinct, including Barbodes lindog AKA Lindog. The loss of the native fish community was caused in part by introduced fish species

Virtual trip to Lake Lanao in the Philippines. Apparently lots of cyprinid diversity lost to overfishing and introduced species. Here are 2 that were declared extinct by IUCN in 2020.

Worked with these beasties for a number of years. Love them. Seven gill shark or dirty oven mitts as a colleague here calls them.

The best three-horned face of the was a fish. Don't @ me. This is wenzi (Taverne & Capasso 2015), a pycnodont that resembled a sea robin head on a filefish body. Thread (1/4)

An oddball species which was fun to draw: Xyrichtys incandescens which is quite distinctive but unlike the other W Atlantic Xyrichtys is rarely seen or photographed. Not even sure what the female looks like but this is the terminal male
