Fish List
I love fish so much. I have only been thinking about fish. Here is a list of my favorite fish in no particular order, with facts and random commentary sprinkled in between.
Copper Rockfish
If someone asks me what my favorite fish is, I'll say Copper Rockfish. It was the first fish I ever caught (and had to put back, since Rockfish are endangered), but genuinely I just think they look really neat. They're my favorite out of all of the Rockfish species.
2. Quillback Rockfish
Though Copper Rockfish are my favorite Rockfish, I'll also shoutout Quillback. I really like how their spines are blue, and standout really well against the yellow and black. All Rockfish are venomous (to my understanding), but I've always found these ones to be the most intimidating if only because the spines are so much bigger than the other subspecies.
3. Sockeye Salmon (spawning)
For those who don't know, salmon spawning is when salmon return to their birthplace (freshwater) to lay eggs and die, and they also change appearance. Pre-spawning, while they are in saltwater, all the different subspecies pretty much look the same: silver and lumpy, with only minor differences between them. When spawning, they all turn more green and red and become more distinct from one another. I've always liked Sockeye the most, with their green heads and bright red bodies, and the shape of their heads/mouths. I think it's really an iconic look.
4. Flounder
I love flounder just because they look stupid. Fun fact: they don't actually start flat. They're born looking like "normal" fish, with one eye on each side of the head, but as they grow the face shifts onto the top and they flatten to better blend in with the sea floor. Imagine hitting puberty and you turn into Flat Stanley lmao.
5. Cabezon
Cabezon, like Rockfish, have venomous spines. Also their meat is blue until you cook it, where it turns white, which I think is neat. Usually, they reside really deep in the ocean, but in fall and winter they come more into the shallows to make nests and lay eggs. The males are left behind to guard them, so this is the best time to catch one if you don't want to go out on a boat, and also don't want to worry about catching a female. I've never eaten one, but my dad says that they have a texture more similar to chicken.
6. Betta
Pretty basic species of domestic fish, but I still really like them. I had a red and blue male as a kid named Spike. Bettas are usually surface/top fish, but Spike liked to go to the bottom to feed with the Emerald Corydoras I had, and sleep on the moss ball (like it was a little bed). He had a surprising amount of personality for a fish.
7. Emerald Corydora
Corydoras are basically just little freshwater catfish. They like to be in groups, so you have to have at least five if you want to have them at all. I had Emerald Corydoras growing up, and I loved watching them spend all day picking at the sand with their little whiskers for food. They remind me of cows.
8. Panda Corydora
Panda Corydoras are also really neat. I like how shiny they can be, I think it makes them look like little Pokémon.
9. Albino Corydora
Albino Corydoras are cool, especially in comparison to the other species. I think they all look like little old men.
10. Koi
Another kind of basic fish, but they're still cool and I want to point them out. They can get really big if they're not kept in a small enclosure (Domestic Koi can get between 12 and 15 inches, Japanese Koi between 22 and 26, and Jumbo Koi between 34 and 36).
11. Pufferfish
Like flounders, they also look stupid and it amuses me endlessly. They have these two front teeth for breaking into snail shells and slurping them out. I remember there was this really big one at the fish store I used to go to (nearly identical to the one pictured on the left) that would follow your finger if you dragged it across the glass, all the while with that big-ass stupid smile on it's face. They're just so full of whimsy.
12. Telescope Goldfish
Never owned them but I think they're really neat. "Awooga!!" ahh fish. What are they goggling at smh.

Man dont get albino fish
Bro has been sitting here unmoving all morning. sand all over its back. its gills are moving so its not dead. but like.
bro are you chilling or dying
#toy pic post#my fish#fish#90gal#corydora catfish#corycat#undescribed#bro better not be dying cos then im going to feel awful for making fun of him on the internet but like#the white ones are very stupid and have no fear of me pressing my big stupid ape face to the glass#so short of reaching in and poking him or overfeeding the tank my options are limited. ill maybe reach in if he still hasnt moved for.#awhile#i cant see the other one so i have to assume its doing this same shit but hidden somewhere i cant see jt#which is not reassuring either btw#ive had a number of different albino fish now and i can say all of them have pulled this exact shit repeatedly and by pulled i mean#theyre just sitting there but they look so wretched and sickly to start with that its concerning#and like. everytime is so scary cos i dont want to get dismissive about it bc thats when they decide to die for real#at least shake the sand off man 😭#also yes the white ones lost their barbels thats why theyre in this tank now. i suspect the kuhlis of eating their whiskers#cos the kuhlis all still have their whiskers. and the bronze corycats in here all still have nice long healthy whiskers#so. hopefully theyll grow back?

I voted neutral on Ichthyostraca but let me tell you it was NOT easy 😅 I have a personal grievance with Ich, I lost all 10 of corydora to it. It was my first indoor aquarium and first run in with ich as well: I had 3 albino bronze Corys, 2 regular bronze and a glo bronze, and 2 melanistic pandas and 2 regular from the same batch. Cutely my male Melanistic panda corydora Romeo was infatuated with my biggest corydora Ghost a female bronze albino. After they died I ended up bleaching the entire 40 gallon tub and throughly rinsing and soaking it before I got it started back up again. Thankfully I haven’t had a run in with ich since and I switched to guppies, which ended up being a good thing even though I have an all female tank one ended up being pregnant and I ended up with my five baby guppies who I love even more? Than all of my other fish not that I pick favorites but I was with them from day one and they are the only ones who never run from me for anything a net or otherwise 😂
That type of Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis) is actually a parasite called a ciliate, and is not an animal at all! It’s easy to confuse them with fish lice though: they both start with Icthyo (coming from the Greek “ichthys” as they’re both parasites of fish). Ichthyostracans can usually be seen with the naked eye running around on the scales of fish and don’t have to stay latched on.
I feel your pain though. I had an outbreak of Ich in my large tank once, and lost some cherry barbs and a tetra. I managed to kill off the parasites without any chemicals by gradually increasing the temperature of the tank, up to 80-85 Fahrenheit. Somehow most of my fish survived the ordeal, even though a lot of them were absolutely coated in spots. 😬
Including my immortal South American Bumblebee Catfish. Maybe I’ll make a seperate post about my immortal South American Bumblebee Catfish when we get to Actinopterygii…

One of my oldest corydoras has been acting off lately and I think she might be getting ready to kick the bucket. I don't remember how long they're supposed to live but I think she's close to seven years old. Is that good for an albino Cory?
