So great to see a bichir!

@solomonrdavid.bsky.social if you haven't seen this yet...they need a little more support to get the gar unlocked!
There's still 2 weeks left to pledge for the River Roamers enamel pin campaign!

There's 23 fish themed pins you can add to your pledge.

Don't post much, but very excited by our 8 legged friends around the house.
All at least the size of Canadian nickels.
One was gently relocated though.

Their carcass counts are impressive

First time in NiaGARa falls, had to go to the Aquarium of Niagara and check out the fishes! Great place to visit, highly recommend!
Just a half-hour walk over the bridge!

Hey @hellbendermuseum.bsky.social remind me which Safari dinosaur you sculpted? I've completely forgotten.

Also... anything about that emperor newt becoming available?

Awesome figure. We need more unusual #fish models! Especially #freshwater ones

@palaeoplushies.art the newest ancient fish arrived today!

The shoal continues to grow! Just need that bowfin and ropefish! Got big plans when that happens!

Hoping for a mirrorverse version from @hellbendermuseum.bsky.social while we're at it!

Everyone needs models from both of these artists🐟

I usually forget to mention these, but I've added many #fish posts on the Animal Toy Blog

Today is a pair of Goliath #Tigerfish which are very cool

Japan mail call! Mostly #fish!🐟
All #freshwater even! Probably the best #bichir model I have right now...
Took a month to get here, very worth it.
And a prehistoric #rodent representing my MSc!

Last time I introduced a new #fish it was a plush sturgeon from @palaeoplushies.art

This time it's a cryptid-inspired #Polypterus mokelembembe...

His name is Mokaullay Caulkfin and has the appearance of a calico sausage!

Small tank is a temporary quarantine, not a permanent one!

New #fish from @palaeoplushies.art!

Added the new #sturgeon to my #bichir and #gar🦕🐟

@friel.bsky.social how does one get added to the Fishes feed?

I haven't spent enough time with this site yet to figure all of this out...!🐟

Sometimes you need fish to tell the truth 🐟

I need more #primitivefish and more #fish 🐟 on my feed, so I should contribute one. A polypterid I've had for around 8 years...a big happy retropinnis (named Naga).
Willo the cat would also appreciate more fish.

Now I have cats. In the house.

It's been a while since I had young cats.🐈‍⬛🐈

Goes to reptile show.
Buys plants and some inverts.

Being responsible is no fun.

Just met these two floofs this evening!
They'll be coming home to us next week. I hope.

It's been too long (5 months) without a cat in the house

Walking home today, came across a very silver magpie. Looks nothing like the ones around it
Not huge on #birds but appreciate this one
August 10, 2023 at 11:16 PM
I finally made it. Guess I'll post something.

Why not some beautiful white sturgeon from the Nechako sturgeon hatchery?
