Rapid fire Fishuary part 2!

Day 8 - Seahorse

The bullneck seahorse (Hippocampus minotaur) is a pygmy seahorse that has never been found alive in the wild. The only known handful of specimens were gathered from relatively deep waters off the coast of Australia.

Day 9 - Ray

Baby stingray! I couldn't find an original source for the reference I used (only realized this after I already did the drawing 😑) so I'm not entirely sure what species it is.

Day 10 - Symbiotic relationship

I chose the relationship between Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) and the bacteria Vibrio fischeri. V. fischeri is naturally bioluminescent. It colonizes the epithelia in the bobtail squid's special light organ, where the squid uses the light emissions to camouflage itself with moonlit water.

Day 11 - Deep sea fish

Sea toad my beloved.... Chaunacops melanostomus

Day 12 - Small fish

Paedocypris progenetica is the smallest known freshwater fish at a mature length of 7.9 mm. Eeensy beensy
