White-spotted jellyfish for the background but I don't even know what the foreground is going to be. Do we have an eel theme soon by any chance?

My current hunch is Golden Mahseer, India. They were popular sport fish for British colonialists and the wording penned on the scale suggests colonial era sport fishing. Suryamal is one place this definitely happened. Also, taking Golden Mahseer scales as trophies was equally common.
Yes? No?

Got asked about prints during #FishyFeb so anyone who wants, here's the completed #art sans labels that should work for basic paper size 🐡
If you want a bigger one, DM me to order a physical poster. Sorry for not just releasing the high res file but I've had issues with art theft in the past 🫤

The fish painting gains Cirrhitus rivulatus aka the giant hawkfish. Hawkfishes lack swim bladders and instead of hovering, perch on rocks like birds (hence the name) 🐟

Hypostomus plecostomus, the common pleco. Like most aquarium fish they tend to grow bigger in the wild and can reach half a meter. Plecos have armor instead of scales, which is cool, but the pattern is very hard to replicate in a small space!
