The Devils Hole pupfish is one of the rarest fish on Earth, found only in a tiny desert cave called Devils Hole. It has been living there for thousands of years, surviving in hot, low-oxygen water and depending on a single small rock shelf for food and breeding. With such extreme conditions and isolation, it raises a strange question
I found like 20 of them. T. leerii
Walking Lake Gregory and was surprised to spot several huge brightly colored fish in a shallow area of the lake. I don’t know anything about fish or fishing but I’m really curious about why these huge orange guys were in the lake, they seemed out of place. This is in Southern California.
There were two different shapes of orange fish, so I think it’s two separate species, please look at all the pictures.
Anything helps! Thanks!!
I don’t see these too often in my area, neat!
Hi, can someone help me to ID this fish? spotted in Greece, Serifos (Agean Sea). it was dark brown, couple of cm long. moved more like an amphibian.
Years ago, when I was in the Maldives and scuba diving, I saw something I still cant forget. I was at the end of the reef where it goes deeper into the abyss. In the blink of an eye a huge school of some (ca. 20cm sized) fish swam by me so fast that I could barely see them. It left me startled. Like in a second they were gone. They were silver. It was like a very powerful lightning of fish which my brain could barely even register.
What species could they have been? Has anyone experienced this too?
Probably one of my coolest memories.
