There are four types of fish scales!
Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).
Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).
Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).
Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).

fun fact! if you were to arrange every fish on earth in a straight line, nose to tail, they probably wouldn't enjoy it very much

I can't believe people would slander ocean sunfish for having a lot of parasites. Uh, hello?? Every animal in nature has parasites dipshit, it came free with living in an ecosystem
#aquatic ecosystems are filled with parasites!! they get transmitted super easy thanks to the. you know. water#fish have sooooooo many parasites you have no idea! so many varied groups! its actually mega cool. they teach us a lot about the ecosystem#anyway. ocean sunfishes are awesome if you hate them youve been fed propaganda (unless an ocean sunfish murdered your family)#sunfish#ocean sunfish
