The brief sketch allows me to sneak back into elasmobranchs as they weren’t one of the restricted freshwater families.
So I’ve gone with a Whiptail stingray.

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

For I drew a Western Brook Lamprey in They are one of the native lampreys to the USA and are non-parasitic. I was part of a research team looking for these in rivers around the Great Lakes. Sadly, the poison for sea lampreys works on these guys too.

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.

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)
