It’s really hard to be a fish nerd. I mean, sure, they have to use wax pencils when they play D&D, but most books and computers don’t even work under the water.
They must do a lot of LARPing.

Catfish
Without those whiskers, catfish would just all roll straight to the bottom of the lake.
Comet (Calloplesiops altivelis)
Contrary to what most people believe the comet’s tail always points away from the sun and doesn’t always show the direction it is moving.
Fish
“Just keep swimming” is a trite philosophy, inapplicable to the complexities of real life.
Indian Glassfish
It is a lot easier to appreciate the clarity of the Indian Glassfish when the background of the tank isn’t fish-coloured.
Throwback Thursday
This fish is wilting. It is not safe to eat. It should be thrown back.
Peru 2015 – Egret with Fish
Starting to think that fish have a bit of a raw deal in the Amazon.
Mudskipper (Periophthalmini)
“Sure. Just sit there and breathe the air like it’s no big deal. SOME OF US AREN’T SO PRIVILEGED.”
Whitemouth Moray Eel (Gymnothorax meleagris)
Fish can only swim into a moray in one direction.
Mudskipper (Periophthalmini)
When the fins come up, stuff is about to go down.
Clown Fish and Anenome
If you had a venomous lawn, you wouldn’t have many visitors either.
Blind Cave Fish (Astyanax mexicanus)
You know how, when you go camping, people complain about all the noseeums? This is what they look like.
Fish
It costs a little extra, but an accent paint job can make it a lot easier to find your fish in the parking lot.
Fish
Through waves and deep see disturbances from storms, the dune structure of the subsurface changes often. As such, the volcanic rifts and mountains remain the only constant. Thus, some fish tattoo their environments on their sides to keep from getting lost.
Fish
Darn. This one tastes like watermelon too.
Fish
I have a whole lot of books that are pretty certain that sea monsters don’t actually exist.
Fish
As you can see, there is an additional ring around each spot. That is how you can tell this is a jaguar and not a leopard.
Fish
They tried to make a movie. Surprisingly, gathering one hundred and one of these was the easy part, but then Ms. de Vil drowned and they had to do a bit of work on the script.
Popeye Catalufa Soldierfish (Pristigenys serrula)
I hate it when you finally figure out which fish is the red one, eventually haul it into the boat, and only after you’ve unwrapped and tasted it that you realize it’s watermelon instead of cherry.
Eye
Some fish are made of carpet and see through sphincters.
Evolution sure does a lot of experiments.
