It's beginning to look a lot like #Fishmas! 🐟🎄
That's right - #25DaysofFishmas will be on Bluesky this year! As in past years, I'll be highlighting a different #GreatLakes fish species each day in December, advent calendar-style. The 9th (!) year of #Fishmas kicks off December 1!

🎶From Atlantic to Pacific, gee the fish facts are terrific!🎶
#25DaysofFishmas is hitting the road! While there's no place like H.O.M.E.S. for the holidays, we'll be traveling beyond the #GreatLakes this year to learn about freshwater fishes from across the US. The road trip kicks off December 1!

Have a holly, jolly (roger) #Fishmas! ☠️🐟
Ahoy from the Pirate Perch (Aphredoderus sayanus), kicking off the first day of #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas!
This fish is secretive, nocturnal, and has a very… unique anatomy - and it's the answer to this week's #SundayFishSketch mystery theme!

There’s no better fish to kick off this year’s #25DaysofFishmas than the aptly-named Christmas darter (Etheostoma hopkinsi)! We get our road trip started down in the southeastern US with this small species of fish who has big holiday spirit all year long

As always, if you’d like to do your own #25DaysofFishmas this year, please do! The more #Fishmas-es, the merrier!
In the past, people have done #25DaysofFishmas style events featuring their own favorite groups of fish, locations, or even other animals (like #Crustmas). #Fishmas is for everyone!

That's a wrap on 2025's #25DaysofFishmas - the 10th year of #Fishmas silliness! Thanks to everyone who has followed along as we explored some of the amazing fish that call the US home.
From Atlantic to Pacific, there's a lot worth protecting - wishing everyone peace and renewal of hope for 2026.

🎶 I’ll have a blue #Fishmas without you...🎶
I’d definitely be blue celebrating #25DaysofFishmas without the Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), one of the #GreatLakes region’s most recognizable (and catchable 🎣) fishes!

Mele kalikimaka! 🌴🐟
On Day 12 of #25DaysofFishmas, we head to the land where palm trees sway and the season's always green and bright to find the Nopili rockclimbing goby / ‘o‘opu nōpili (Sicyopterus stimpsoni), one of only a few freshwater fish species native to the islands of Hawai‘i

Today we celebrate other ancient fishes for #GarWeek, and Lake Sturgeon is today’s species for @drkatfish.bsky.social’s #25DaysOfFishmas, so here you go:
Enjoy some Bluesky positive vibes (sound on👍) from these juvenile Lake Sturgeon @garlab.bsky.social!

2025 will be Year 10 (!) of #25DaysofFishmas! Since 2016, December has meant 25 days of fish facts - and not just from me! While my #25DaysofFishmas generally focuses on #GreatLakes fish (though 2020 was also a travel year!), it's great when others share fish from their worlds- the more the merrier!

The big day is finally here - and with it, a very big fish!
Our #25DaysofFishmas road trip ends on the East Coast with the ancient-looking Atlantic Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus). Once close to becoming a Ghost of Fishmas Past, their ongoing recovery represents a possible brighter Fishmas Future
