WHY sturgeon gotta be like that???
[wait for it]

North America’s largest freshwater fish (White Sturgeon) is obviously jealous of the second largest (Alligator Gar) with its armored scales, teeth, poisonous eggs, air-breathing…but I suppose barbels are cool? 😅

Today is the International Day of Zoo and Aquarium Educators! This week, Amber and Christine learned from educators at @aquariumpacific.bsky.social! They went to the aquarium twice, and a whale watch. Thanks to all the educators for helping us to learn about, and connect with wildlife! #IZEDay2025

Fishmas day 8! You may have seen this species featured on River Monsters. This animal is MASSIVE! Some photos look fake, but often times, the fish really is just that big!

Who else will we see at AALAS this week? There may or may not also be aquarium trips and a whale watch... :)
This DEN-LGB plane is full because a bunch of us are all going to AALAS. Made for a nice mini reunion at the gate.

A non-fishhead bestie asked me "What is your pick for most underrated fish?" and of course I replied the eel. Etched in the history of many cultures, yet full of mystery across their metamorphosis and epic migrations between the open sea to rivers far inland. For "life cycle" #SundayFishSketch 🦑🐡🧪

🚨New Website blog 🚨 🧵

Did you watch Shark Whisperer on Netflix? I did & it was pseudoscientific rubbish. In this blog, I do a deep dive into the documentary; its subject, Ocean Ramsey; & the harmful effects of “shark influencers” on shark conservation (1/9)

Low-quality video of a shortnose gar in honor of high-quality #garweek. This fish was spotted in the Grand River (MI) during the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting in 2023, which also happened to be the same week I met @solomonrdavid.bsky.social for the first time! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Next, they're going to ask what street you grew up on, and the name of your family pet. Don't fall for it! Oldest trick in town by the oldest fishes in town.
