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

Totally out of my comfort zone here but I’ve gone for the Anchor Tuskfish as my motivational as it’s possibly the first tool using fish discovered. It tenaciously uses rocks to break open mollusc shells.

For this weeks motivation theme fro I decided to go with something mythical - How a Koi became a Dragon.

A school of golden koi was swimming upstream the Yellow River in China. Gaining strength by fighting against the current the school glimmered as they swam.
