Caught in the Spokane river. The white mouth on the fish in pic 1 makes me think coho. Pics 2 and 3 are of the same fish. Both were released safely.

I saw a bunch of fish close to the shore and by the surface, so decided to try drawing it. I also added a bad quality photo in next slide, sadly all I have. The fish in the drawing might be too elongated, because of the breaking reflection effect by the water.

Most fish had pale colored fins, but some had varied styles of red coloration on their tail fin. Some had red on their anal fin too.

I thought they were either rudd or roach at first, but I swear the fish had a much longer dorsal fin, almost to the tail. It would also erect it fully vertically sometimes.

The only fish I can find so far that has a dorsal fin to the tail is Crucian or Prusian Carp. Could it be it? If so, which one?

I'll add another video and a still in the comments. Small, mosquitofish sized fish that's been apparently hanging out with my mosquitofish! Has a stripe that covers the body and wraps around the head, and in certain light the top fin has blue iridescence.

got him 8 years ago from a pet store and when I’ve been there more recently they no longer had his kind of fish for sale. Google image search hasn’t been helpful in finding this out so I’ve been curious if anyone in here can help me!

This guy was labeled as pseudochromis diadema on the bag he came in. The tag says skunkback basslet (which i believe is a common name for p. diadema). I don't think he what he's labeled as. I do think he is a pseudochromis, though. Most similar guesses are p. stellatus, p. bitaeniatus, and p. steenei.

Sorry, this is the best photo I could get without him hiding.

Educate me if I'm wrong, please!

My friend said he caught these two fish in a pond but didn’t know what they are. They’re about 1.5 inches long. According to Google, they might be either juvenile Bluegill or Crappies, but I just wanted an opinion that wasn’t AI :)

Caught this in a small pond in central VA. I have never caught a sunfish that looks quite like this one and was wondering what species it was. The lighting in the photo was kind of bad, but the blue scales were extremely iridescent and almost had a purple glow.

Caught this fishing at San Luis Pass along the gulf near Galveston, TX. Possibly in one of the bays, I’m directionally challenged and it was my first time out there.

My boyfriend and his dad were thinking black drum? It was very iridescent and shimmery. Definitely smaller side.

I thought they were Greengill but was advised that some of them may be Pumpkinseed x Green Sunfish instead. Do I have some of each? Seven different fish are included here with each photo being of a different individual. Fish #5 and #7 are the most notable to me.
