All my first pets were goldfish and they were all named Barbie #SundayFishSketch

Realized that the #LostFishesArtChallenge ends today and had to do some panic drawings. My Itasy cichlid fully turned into rainbow fish

Saw some beautiful sunsets this weekend and found some rocks that needed little guys on them. #sciart

For this week's identity crisis #SundayFishSketch theme, a fish that isn't sure if it's a dragon or maybe a leaf.

[Calla Beers @Calla4069]

It's my #SundayFishSketch 1 year anniversary so here's a bunch of old drawings crammed together. I'm not sure what the pupfish did to have everyone so interested. Thanks @seetasaur for getting me into @Lampichthys 's cool project!

[Calla Beers @Calla4069]

I can't think of how my grayling fits into the 'busy fish' theme, but I was busily looking for paper to draw on today and only found this piece of cardboard, so I think that counts. #SundayFishSketch

This dorado catfish is busy with its migration of 11,600 km across the Amazon basin and back #SundayFishSketch #SciArt

Here's Neoplecostomus watersi, a freshwater catfish from Brazil named after Roger Waters #SundayFishSketch

[Calla Beers @Calla4069]

Though they may be short in stature compared to some others, here is a fish with a long lifespan. One orange roughy near Tasmania was aged at 250 years old. #SundayFishSketch

[Liana Smale @LianaSmale]

Instead of a long fish, I drew the fish with the longest name: the lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi! #SundayFishSketch

My pick for deep water fish is this smooth oreo dory (Pseudocyttus maculatus) who lives at depths between 400 - 1500 m #SundayFishSketch

[Liana Smale @LianaSmale]

This black dragonfish is using its bioluminescence to attract prey. Its ultra-black skin and anti-reflective teeth keep it hidden from the glow.

Happy #FathersDay for #SundayFishSketch! Thank you, stickleback, for being a model dad, apart from occasionally eating your own eggs

[Liana Smale @LianaSmale]

My dad loves scuba diving and snorkeling, and I saw a lot of stingrays with him during one of our snorkeling adventures #SundayFishSketch #FathersDay #SciArt

Here's a quick red band-fish swimming around its very cozy burrow. Luckily for this fish its home is rent free and just needs some maintenance every once in a while to repair cave-ins. #SundayFishSketch

Also made this moray eel composition for the “fish with homes” prompt

When you live in a hole
underneath some coral
you’re a moray
