It was alive, but not moving very quickly. Carp?

found this big lump in southampton on long island (ny)! ocean sunfish have been seen occasionally out here (normally offshore) and the coloration/pattern definitely looks like one. the size also matches up, as it was maybe around a foot long, but the spine-like thingies are puzzling me lol as i’ve never seen them on pics of molas online (i’ve unfortunately never seen an alive one irl :( ). i have no clue what part of the body it could be!!! the hole kinda looks like an operculum with a ripped off pectoral fin but i’m definitely not a mola mola expert 🤷🏼‍♀️ i was way too scared to flip it over as the stench was (obviously) atrocious! either way a very cool sighting :)

B. pulchra

Exact species is Oligoplites saurus

I work for a company studying loon foraging in Rangeley Maine.

Oreichthys parvus

Is it biting or playing? Do i need to separate them? More videos in here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16LQONf2LXB_iIedAo4A6zmfUctRMnVq8

One of a handful of neon tetras I’ve been doing lately. I’m working on building up a whole school of them, amongst other species as well. I just recently finished miniaturizing my salmon design and will add a couple of them to my frame to be finished off in the upcoming weeks

After that, it sounds like I’ll be doing a fun series of puffer fish in different frames that come together to show an animation of it puffing it

Hi guys. I got 3 little shubunkins in the spring and this will be my first autumn/ winter and I’m not sure what sort of aerator or pump I need. At the moment I have a double ended bubbler and a little fountain, but both are solar powered and today was really gloomy and they just weren’t working.

The pond is small. Maybe about a foot deep and about 80cm long. What should I get?

(FYI this photo was before the fish)

B. maculatus

Tiwini danios or Gold Ring Danios are the BEST

i know that this is a poecilia reticula

sorry for the bad camera quality but i was hoping that it could be identified off the silhouette alone if anyone could do that

surprised to see that there are no detailed & accurate fish personality quizzes! not a passionate fish fan myself, but this does seem like PRIME material for a lovely personality quiz which plays into the uniqueness of all the different types of fish.
