Pterois is a genus of venomous marine fish, commonly known as lionfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Also called zebrafish, firefish, turkeyfish, tastyfish or butterfly-cod, it is characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red, white, creamy, or black bands, showy pectoral fins, and venomous spiky fin rays. Pterois radiata, Pterois volitans, and Pterois miles are the most commonly studied species in the genus. Pterois species are popular aquarium fish. P. volitans and P. miles are recent and significant invasive species in the west Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Mediterranean Sea. Pterois are harmful to humans. Juvenile lionfish have a unique tentacle located above their eye sockets that varies in phenotype between species. The evolution of this tentacle is suggested to serve to continually attract new prey; studies also suggest it plays a role in sexual selection. 28350

French, Gray, and Queen Angelfish are seen at many dive sites in the Turneffe Atoll of Belize. Here, a stately French Angelfish cruised through our group of divers, perhaps out of curiosity.

Clownfish have adapted to life on the reef by developing a symbiotic relationship with the anemones. Clownfish are small and would be preyed upon by larger fish if they were not living within and protected by the stinging tentacles of the anemone. The clownfish is covered with a specialized mucous that gives it immunity from the sting cells on the host anemone. Safe within the anemone tentacles, the clownfish can feed on planktonic organisms that float by. Clownfish live in small groups inhabiting a single anemone. The group consists of a dominant breeding pair cohabiting with a few non-reproductive adult and juvenile clownfish. They aggressively defend their territory, bullying others away from their host anemone.

 

-- Clownfish Fun Facts --

‧ Clownfish rarely stray more than a few feet from their host anemone.

‧ The characters in the movie “Finding Nemo” are false percula clownfish.

‧ There are 28 known species of clownfish.

‧ While clownfish are unharmed by the stinging cells of an anemone, they are not immune to jellyfish stings.

‧ Clownfish are up to three and a half inches long.

‧ They most often have color patterns in orange, red or black with white bars or patches.

The weedy seadragon or common seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) is a marine fish related to the seahorses. Adult common seadragons are a reddish colour, with yellow and purple markings; they have small leaf-like appendages that resemble kelp fronds providing camouflage and a number of short spines for protection. Males have narrower bodies and are darker than females. Seadragons have a long dorsal fin along the back and small pectoral fins on either side of the neck, which provide balance. Common seadragons can reach 45 cm (18 in) in length.

 

These fish are slow-moving and rely on their camouflage as protection against predation; they drift in the water and with the leaf-like appendages resemble the swaying seaweed of their habitat. They lack a prehensile tail that enables similar species to clasp and anchor themselves.

 

Individuals are observed either on their own or in pairs; feeding on tiny crustaceans and other zooplankton by sucking prey into their toothless mouths. As with seahorses, seadragon males are the sex that cares for the developing eggs. Females lay around 120 eggs onto the brood patch located on the underside of the males' tail. The eggs are fertilised and carried by the male for around a month before the hatchlings emerge. The young are independent at birth, beginning to eat shortly after. Common seadragons take about 28 months to reach sexual maturity, and may live for up to six years. (Wikepedia)

Envision a scene where a sea diver explores the mysterious depths of the ocean, encountering various marine life, including fish. As the diver ascends, swimming towards the surface, it's as if they are transcending the underwater depths and approaching the shimmering light above the water.

This scenario can symbolize personal growth, resilience, and the journey of overcoming challenges. The sea diver represents someone navigating through the complexities of life, while the fish may symbolize the diverse experiences encountered along the way. The ascent toward the light signifies progress, enlightenment, and the promise of brighter horizons after navigating the depths of one's journey....

The ocean is a VAST place so limiting mer/aquatic RP to just a section of it has never made sense to me... Be creative with your builds give ocean dwellers the option to swim out to sea and explore and interact. Other RP racial groups can find IC ways to come RP with water dwellers... they shouldn't always have to get out of the water to come RP on land just because you couldn't be bothered to spare the prims for fish-folk.

Queen Triggerfish_(Balistes vetula)

 

Balistes vetula, the queen triggerfish or old wife, is a reef dwelling triggerfish found in the Atlantic Ocean. It is occasionally caught as a gamefish, and sometimes kept in very large marine aquaria.

  

Etymology

 

This fish is called cochino in Cuba, and this is the probable origin of the name Bahía de Cochinos, which is known as the Bay of Pigs in English.

  

Description

 

The queen triggerfish reaches 60 cm (24 in), though most only are about half that length. It is typically blue, purple, turquoise and green with a yellowish throat, and light blue lines on the fins and head. It can change colour somewhat to match its surroundings, or if subjected to stress.

  

Distribution

 

In the western Atlantic, it ranges from Canada to southern Brazil, and in the eastern Atlantic it is found at Ascension, Cape Verde, Azores and south to Angola. It is reasonably common in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

  

Ecology

 

The queen triggerfish is typically found at coral and rocky reefs in depths of 3–30 m (9.8–98.4 ft), but it can occur as deep as 275 m (902 ft) and sometimes over areas with sand or seagrass.

 

It preys on a variety of invertebrates, notably sea urchins.

  

In the aquarium

 

As one of the largest and most aggressive of the triggerfish, this fish is rarely a good choice as a resident in a marine aquarium. It is however a hardy fish for those who can provide it with a proper environment. Because it grows so large and so quickly the minimum aquarium for this fish is a 500-gallon aquarium. Although some sources argue it can be kept in as little a tank as 125 gallons, when it achieves its adult size of two feet it is very unlikely to thrive, and will likely lead to premature death.

 

Its diet consists of invertebrates. In aquariums shrimp, squid, clams, octopus, scallops, and crab are all good choices of food.
