Off theme sevengill shark for #SundayFishSketch. Sorry I disappeared for a while. Took a long break from socials!
Our Snow White Cichlid (Pseudotropeus Socolofi) for #SundayFishSketch. This red-eyed lady broods her young in her mouth from eggs till small fry. Fits #fishytheme of “white fish.” Named Q-Tip because she is white and was not much larger than the tip of a Q-tip when we got her.
It's been a minute since I did a #SundayFishSketch. Here's my initial exploration of an anglerfish in watercolor pencil.
A goldeye for this week's #SundayFishSketch. Definitely not a hoax, because I actually got to add this species to my life list this week!
(Make sure to get a look at those tongue teeth)
Late night #SundayFishSketch. 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.
Hey all, I know I said I would paint a shark for reaching 400, and this is all I could muster lately so I'm sorry it's late! But here it is, also counts for #SundayFishSketch.

Wish list shark species for this weeks #SundayFishSketch. A repaint of an old painting I did a few years ago.
An ornamental Sumatra barb for this week's #SundayFishSketch.
These little fish are mid water swimmers in aquariums, so they're a great addition to community tanks with surface level and floor level inhabitants! https://t.co/tnvcVruVde
Unfinished Bluehead Chub for #SundayFishSketch. This fathers day, spare a thought for the fish that, using only his mouth and a lot of determination, builds a huge mound of stones (often several feet across in less than 24h!) to protect his eggs, and guards them until they hatch.
A couple of spring spawners for this week's #SundayFishSketch. A white sucker and a rainbow trout.
Reposting some endangered/ threatened species for this week's Earth Day-themed #SundayfishSketch. Yellowfin Tuna (Near Threatened), Whale Shark (Endangered), Australian Lungfish (Endangered), West Indian Ocean Coelacanth (Critically Endangered) 🐟🦈🐠
My best sketch from #paleostream and my entry to #SundayFishSketch. Skull of Saurodon leanus.
The "infamous" Red Bellied Piranha for this week's #SundayFishSketch. Maybe one of the most misrepresented fish ever (along with several sharks). Piranha swim in schools as a means of protecting themselves from larger predators as opposed to it being a hunting strategy. 🐟
Combining themes for #SundayFishSketch. Yellow perch females lay strings/ribbons of eggs during the spring mating season. (Also belated congrats to @DrKatfish!)
A repost of a nurse shark for #SundayFishSketch. I had fun with trying a new technique. Nurse sharks are ovoviviparous: they gestate embryos inside eggs for six months before birthing around 20 pups.
Without realizing it, I was on theme for this week’s #SundayFishSketch. Salmon are anthropologically important for a variety of reasons. For my ancestors they were a symbol of wisdom and an important food source. Here were my studies today on Kokanee Salmon perspective.
Went off-theme for today's #SundayFishSketch. Here are a few different varieties of the most famous livebearer fish - Guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Illustrating tail fins was real fun, looking forward to draw more varieties.!!

Like @Cheetahtrout, I also picked a forehead brooding nurseryfish (Kurtus gulliveri) for Father’s Day #SundayFishSketch. See their post for egg placement. Read that this strategy may keep the eggs out of hypoxic/anoxic conditions.
I liked the colors quite a bit.
Humbled for your kind words, @drawanotherfish! Will gladly QRT on this #ArtTrain and nominate other inspiring and creative souls. Here are a few fav memories over the ages, beyond #SundayFishSketch. Now I direct you to the talented @JoseBilingue @Sarah_Gilman @commnatural! [1/2] https://t.co/Zd0YEYonlL
Bottom dwellers was this week’s theme for #SundayFishSketch. I immediately started looking at Siluriformes❤️
Hara jerdoni - a small (2.5-4 cm) bottom dweller from NE India and Bangladesh.
