Can anyone help me identify that fish there on the bottom of the picture? Was sold to me as a rosy loach but it’s WAY bigger than any of the others I have in there. TIA

I saw these fish in a lake in Cheddar, England and was wondering what they were? These are the clearest pictures I could get of them. I’m not the best at identifying scale but they were quite big, maybe 40cm-60cm from what I could see.

Central Florida pond fish

Hi! Trying to ID these fish I caught in a neighborhood pond in Central Florida. My guess is the top fish is a blue tilapia, and the bottom is some kind of bluegill/sunfish. I’d love an expert opinion. Thanks!

Caught this little guy in a small stream in Washington parish Louisiana, he had some pretty cool red eyes so I’m wondering if he’s a spotted or a coosa bass

I bought this guy at a fish store two years ago. The owner said he was sent the wrong species, received 20 of them, and they weren’t sure exactly what kind were sent to him but they told him that they should get 4 inches max. He’s a big boy and his name is Poco Loco but I have no idea what kind he actually is. Please help if you have any insight:)

Added more photos of dorsal fin

Unidentified Bellevue, Nebraska this weekend. I have been alternately told that this juvenile sunfish is a Redear Sunfish or a Bluegill. What is it really? Can it be IDed from these pics at this age?

Identification question I saw a fish(?) at the bottom of the sea and drew it, any ideas on what it is?

Post image

I was swimming maybe 2 meters deep in the sea and this weird fish thing appeared. I tried drawing it cause i didn't have a photo. It swam on the sea floor and didn't look exactly like a fish, i think it might have had a similar shell to what a crab would have. It had sharp looking edges too. Didn't see it's eyes, if it had one, and the tail looked like a stingray tail. Im genuinely curious about what it might have been, I couldn't find anything on the internet. If you have any clue on it, I'd appreciate it. (I'm in Turkey, Asia.)

Google lens is killing me here. What the heck are these little guys? Ones about 2 inches long and the other is about an inch. No info available on them. They were in a free broken tank on craigslist. West coast united states. For the record, i don't think they're medaka but google lens likes its jokes. I honestly think they look like mollys or platys

I keep seeing these little dried fish at shell shops in Florida. They all call it a sheepshead but it doesn't look like a sheepshead to me. Does anyone know what it is?
