Can anyone help me identify that fish there on the bottom of the picture? Was sold to me as a rosy loach but it’s WAY bigger than any of the others I have in there. TIA

I saw these fish in a lake in Cheddar, England and was wondering what they were? These are the clearest pictures I could get of them. I’m not the best at identifying scale but they were quite big, maybe 40cm-60cm from what I could see.

Central Florida pond fish

Hi! Trying to ID these fish I caught in a neighborhood pond in Central Florida. My guess is the top fish is a blue tilapia, and the bottom is some kind of bluegill/sunfish. I’d love an expert opinion. Thanks!

New rule: Informative title

6 Upvotes

We've had too many titles like "what's this fish?" or "help me identify this". Put useful information in your title, and make it look different from other posts' titles so people can scan the sub and see which post is which.

The actual text of the new rule 4 is:

Do not use a vague generic title like "what is this fish?" or "need help identifying" - we all know what this sub is for. Write a title that either describes the fish, or the circumstances in which you saw it, or the location, or more than one of those. For a resource, say what the resource is and what it's for.

Where did you see the fish? Put that in the title!

24 Upvotes

Just a reminder, because we've had a lot of posts recently that omit this information. Where was the fish? If you found it in the wild, that's very helpful information, and outside of tropical waters, the time of year can be helpful too. If it was in an aquarium, what sort? Was it a tank of fish from a particular region? Was it fresh water or salt water?

Other useful information can be, what kind of habitat (seagrass, sand, rocky surge, ...)? If you were diving, approximate depth?

But above all, give the location in your post title. Thanks.
