Certainly, my anonymous compatriot

The bluestripe snapper is a fish that can be found around coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific area. It lives in groups around coral reefs. My drawing is available…

It's #Mermay, so they get to be fishies! 🐠🫧

Hachi is a bluestripe snapper, and Ekubo is a... lumpfish...

The sketch for this has been sitting in my folder since last year's mermay 😵‍💫

Bluestripe Snapper

Alex Eloise Clover, a chubby shapeshifter who never quite got the "shape" part down right, so always retains her natural bear form no matter what her colors may be. She loves tropical fish, so can usually be found sporting bright patterns. Her eyes, hair, nose, and inner ears never change colors; she won't say if it's intentional or another limitation.

This pattern is based on the Bluestripe Snapper (lutjanus kasmira)

South Florida Weekend

Met up with George again in Sebring on Friday evening to look for Brown Hoplo in nearby Charlie Creek to the west of Avon Park. Headed out there about an hour before sunset and after a handful of sunfish I finally pulled in a nice size Tilapia. Very shortly afterwards I pulled in a few of his smaller brothers.

Charlie Creek Tilapia

Since we were leaving early for Miami in the morning we headed back home and I will continue my hoplo hunt another time.

In the morning we left early and headed to a spot near the Miami airport where there are supposed to be Hornet Tilapia. However after an hour of fishing I had only caught one Peacock Bass and we had to hit the road for our next spot.

At our next location, the University of Miami, there was a target of Crested Goby for me and Striped Mojarra for George. I was able to quickly catch the Crested Goby after we arrived.

Species #242 Crested Goby (Lophogobius cyprinoides)

George on the look out for mojarra

We actually caught several mojarra, but none of the ones George was looking for. I should have paid more attention to the ones I caught because in hindsight they could have been tidewater or big eye. However, since I did not check the head these will just be called Silver Jenny.

Probably just a Silver Jenny Mojarra

We left for our next spot outside Homestead near the dump where there were supposed to be Pike Killifish. When we got there I saw one pike, but it was more than 25 feet away under brush and I could not lure it out. I did manage to get a nice Jaguar and Black Acara at the spot though. My pike killi hunt will continue.

Black Acara

We had finally exhausted our Miami spots and we headed for our primary mission of Channel 5 to try and load up on Angelfish, Parrotfish, and any other species that showed themselves.

However, after a full half day of fishing the bridge, there were no new species caught at this location. Just the typical crowd.

Porkfish were all over the place

Puddingwife

Scrawled Cowfish

At the end of the day we decided to adjust our schedule for the next day and decided to head farther down the keys to check out spots for Hairy Blenny and Goldspotted Killifish.

We got up early and headed west. The Hairy Blenny spot was a bust but we continued on to Cudjoe Key to look for Goldspotted Killifish. Immediately after we got to the location I could see schools of them, but they kept spooking off. After some time I managed to finally find a school that didn’t run and was able to pull in species #243 the Goldspotted Killifish (Floridichthys carpio).

Species #243 - Goldspotted Killifish (Floridichthys carpio)

George quickly caught several as well and we headed back east to Chanel 5, which again was disappointing. However, on the way back we made one final stop near the Everglades and I was able to pull in species #244 the Yellow Belly Cichlid (Cichlasoma salvini).

I got three new species and George got one, so we counted the trip as a success! It was a cool experience to get to travel around with George and his help was much appreciated!
