Wanted to draw a little tribute of sorts to the humble sparkling gourami...had them in my tank a while back and they're such charming little fish.
Also up on my INPRNT!

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.

#I never got my own fish yet but old roommate did#all the betas were stolen#but he wasn’t very good at keeping them alive at the start and a lot of them died so at first we were only giving them names if they died#and they all got names starting with p for dying posthumously#posthumous was the name of one#by our last year tho he had a really nice tank and they weren’t dying anymore so they all got names

The "Dad of the Year" award goes to this flathead catfish on the Black River in North Carolina. A sudden drop in water level caused the fish to be stranded at the base of a rotting tree. I wondered why it didn't leave as the water receded-until I saw the pile of pink eggs by its tail. I realized the fish was trapped by staying to care for its offspring.
It's common for males to watch over eggs and defend them from potential predators-and, in some cases, even from the mother. Of all the things I've seen in swamps, this was one of the most striking examples of survival.
Cypress swamps are difficult places to thrive. Seasonal fluctuations of water shape these ecosystems and the residents that call them home. Although I didn't stick around to see what happened to this father, I was encouraged to see that the water levels did come up just a few days later.
