A freshwater fish! I don't draw those often!
Wilommkthys, from the Carboniferous period, is dead. that's all i have to say about it, really

it is a funny-looking fish, though

For a repost. rocking with the coho salmon.

Here an interesting paper regarding the effects of salmon declining body sizes for the ecosystems they inhabit. https://t.co/NpR9p0CFfM

Since my first was only a few months ago, I decided to do a different sunfish: the Opah.

An awesome ambush predator, the is found in UK rivers, lakes and canals. With tiger-like stripes, this ferocious hunter is easily identified by a row of dorsal spines and orange fins

It's not from today's prompt, but I wanted to share a sketch and finished illustration of an Asian Arowana and a Big Boy Arapaima that I completed this week.

An old 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!

Offtheme and I couldn’t decide so I’m posting both. Tope shark ( locally soupfin) - recently assessed as overexploited in SA. This species has been fished for over a 100 years in the Western Cape.

Extremely sloppy
Sword fish and relatives have brain endothermy. Warmer brain and optic nerve benefit these organs when fish encounter steep thermal changes (e.g. deep dives). More in the paper by Wainwright and Longo https://t.co/FSxvC7xRnz

This week "endotherm fish", I figured we would see many Opah, so, I tried my luck with its stage. Fun but challenging task, as very few image exist, except from Matarese et al. 1989 drawings. I hope you'll like it! Its certainly not that accurate.

For this week's theme - turn an inanimate object into a fish - I am giving a shout out to a summer favorite from . A couple GAR-den Party bottles with a take on their signature rabbit as a backdrop. Fun theme!

has scrambled my brain this week. The brief is to make a fish from an inanimate object. I’ve made the short leap from a box fish to a cardboard box fish. It turns out that cardboard is tricky to draw.
