MEOWY FISHMAS! ✨🐱We're opening on January 4th for commissions, and we've got these two ADORABLE catfish designs up for fullsuit adoption! Designed by @scpkidd, we have Tilly the koi catfish and Poncho the salmon catfish! 💖
1/5 Day 16 of #25DaysofFishmas brings a fish that likes to hang around uninvited! & while there are a number of ornamental fish in the 🇦🇺 industry that also quite literally suck (onto aquarium glass) I'll be focusing on the often overlooked & uninvited hitchhikers of the trade... https://t.co/FeRqZjViMv
🎶Everybody's gone sturgeon, Sturgeon USA🎶
While you might not be able to have a white sturgeon #Fishmas, chances are likely you're not too far from a species of sturgeon- there are 9 species/subspecies in N. America, all of which are found in the US #25DaysofFishmas
#25daysofFishmas “August and September furnish a plentiful supply of prime sturgeon.This fish attains a great size. Some of those we took were eleven feet in length; and, with the entrails out, weighed from three to four hundred pounds.”

And with today's 'O'opu 'alam'o, we say goodbye to the southwestern US portion of the #25DaysofFishmas road trip. From a goby that climbs up waterfalls, to a pupfish that lives in 90°F water, the fishes of the southwest are a resilient bunch! On to the Pacific Northwest + Alaska!
#25DaysofFishmas Southeast Edition:
Candy darter, Blue catfish, Sailfin molly, Alabama cave fish, Barrens topminnow, Alligator gar, Bluehead chub.
Started the sketch for today’s #SundayFishSketch / #25DaysofFishmas at 5am but didnt get a chance to finish until now.
This long boi is an Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) - a bony fish that lives in swamps, bayous, & slow-moving rivers in southern US and northern Mexico.
Two-fold contribution today. I’ve committed to a collage of each region @DrKatfish is posting for #25DaysofFishmas (one left to add) and a WIP for this week’s #SundayFishSketch guess - alligator #gar
Congrats to everyone who guessed "alligator gar" for this week's #SundayFishSketch-#25DaysofFishmas mash-up!
There are 3 big catfish species in North America (big in body size AND popularity): the channel, flathead, and blue catfish. Blue catfish are most often confused with channel catfish, but have a straight anal fin (the channel has a curved one) #25DaysofFishmas
Candy darter (Etheostoma osburni) artwork by Britney Kreiner, former student in my lab. Visit by @ValKells in Ichthyology lab inspired her.
Watch for more fishy art
