After being enemies for three years, my two male Lake Bermin cichlids have pair-bonded. They’re preparing one nest site after the other, expecting each other to finally lay some eggs. 🐟 #fishkeeping
It's already day 20 of my daily #pixelart! This time with a pufferfish! It's another fish, because I've decided to participate in #GoneFishingGameJam. The game will be on my itch page, when I'm done, but I'll also make a post with a link here!
Red eyed tetras have such deep bodies. That red color looks almost like eye shadow. #fish #fishtank #aquariumfish #aquarium #aquascape

Last week, routine monitoring found several hundred juvenile silver carp in the Marseilles Pool of the Illinois River, ~80 miles from Lake Michigan. This marks the first time invasive carp of this size have been found this far upriver since monitoring began in 2010 www.illinois.gov/news/release...

If you were living in Europe in the 1580s and 90s, you would likely have heard a few herring prophecies from Norway. Fishes with words about evil, fighting knights symbolizing the Ottoman conflicts of the Habsburg monarchy etc. appeared, and they all predicted something about the state of the world.

For #SundayFishSketch, not a sketch per se, but I have a WIP fish vase I’m making out of clay! Does anyone have glaze ideas?
Carolina Pygmy Sunfish, uncommon and local in the Waccamaw and Santee River drainages of North and South Carolina, where it occurs in heavily vegetated creeks and still bodies of water. #SundayFishSketch
Inspired by the son of a friend who is learning to be a marine biologist, I give you a blue shark for #SundayFishSketch. He spent a week tagging them. tattooed-sky.blogspot.com/2026/08/blue... #SundayFishSketch #Sketches #BlueSharks

Got a new set of fancy colored pencils for my 30th this week so I had to pick a colorful reef fish for #SundayFishSketch to test them out!
Tried something with today's grass pickerel for #SundayFishSketch. Not sure if it worked but certainly goes well with that head-on paddlefish...
This #SundayFishSketch is my Haplochromis sp. “Ruby Green”. Pencil of course doesn’t do justice to the original colors… 🐟
This week, Conrad and his grandpa sat down with Florida State University PhD candidate Emma Jackson to talk about her journey into shark science, her research on large fish and shark communities along Florida’s Gulf Coast and in the deep sea, and the development of DODAT.
I often hear people say things like "What is the point of this research?" and the thing that is important to remember is that what we call "basic" research is all about finding out more about our world, so that scientists who do translational research can put that knowledge to use.
The influencers getting bitten chasing the perfect shark shot | I’m gonna need everyone to make better choices. Including the “influencers” who do unethical things with sharks without even a basic “don’t try this at home” disclaimer.
