Last one for now: Silurolepis, an antiarch placoderm. It is very hard to come up with a coloration that makes the front & back look like the same animal, but I like the challenge.

3 sarcopterygian fish from the Silurian. From the top: Guiyu oneiros, Megamastax, and Psarolepis. 2/3 of these were pretty big predators of the Silurian seas, with Guiyu reaching about 13in while Megamastax is estimated at around 1m (3.28ft)

You won't find members of the family Holocentridae - AKA the squirrelfishes - burying acorns, but rather prowling the reef after dark for benthic inverts/small fish.

Directly from Congo Basin, my Polypterus of the day is the banded bichir. They have a swimming bladder that functions like a "lung". This adaptation says a lot about their environment, and the wet and dry seasonal regimes of the Congo forest.#sundayfishsketch
