Did a quick paddlefish for the "tiny eye" theme. The American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) has small undeveloped eyes, so it relies on sensory receptors to track down food

Anglerfish have adapted to crushing pressure and oppressive darkness, which seems appropriate some days

When learning to identify longnose dace, I was taught to look for the "mustach" created by the dark lines on this fish's side that extend to its face. Here is a couple of my illustrations of this magnificent creature.

I enjoy participating and looking at everyone's efforts each week even if I haven't done a picture (been messing about with clay lately). I think I'm beginning to maybe hate these particular fish though... 2D red-blue idiots

Being busy with work and family life makes me ‘petrified’ that I’ll never be able to go SCUBA diving abroad again, where I might catch a glimpse of this Caribbean reef squid. 🦑 😱 🤿

Late night This week's theme is "hard-working fishes". Great White Sharks have some of the longest migrations (distance-wise) of any shark species. Individuals have been documented travelling from South Africa to Australia and back again.

The hardworking male White-Spotted Pufferfish (T. albomaculosus) is famous for creating geometric nests in the sand to attract a mate and shelter its eggs. Some nests may take over a week to create, with stunning results.

Finally had time to pick this back up! Kelp Paddies often provide shelter for growing kelp forest denizens too! It's common to see them surrounded by a multitude of small fish. In the open ocean, nearly anything can be shelter!
