For #SundayFishSketch this week I also picked a cichlid (shocker). This time it’s Chromidotilapia guntheri, which is unusual even amongst cichlids because it has biparental mouth brooding. They’re also quite phylogenetically distant from the haplochromines, which are our more typical mouthbrooders

Colored pencil drawing of a pair of Chromidotilapia guntheri. The pair is facing opposite directions and one is slightly smaller and less brightly colored. In the foreground are some of their fry, which still have their yolks

Almost on theme for #SundayFishSketch with the Blue Surgeonfish. Bet they could be a nurse too. Surgical nurse?

Apparently an inactive taxon, here's a Tetra nurse (Brycinus nurse), to celebrate @lampichthys.bsky.social 's new addition. Congrats!

Happy first #SundayFishSketch!

Worth a read for #SciComm #SciArt #TeamFish #SundayFishSketch users here. Bluesky has been a great haven for all of us science users, but it too is self-inflicting bad decisions on moderation, user safety, and general human decency... #WeJustCantHaveNiceThingsApparently 🦑🐡🧪

Kerim Friedman 傅可恩 @kerim.one · 3d

This post, by @nicomaramckay.com, gives a fuller history of just how terribly Bluesky has handled moderation since the beginning and how users have reacted:

"Bluesky’s moderation is not neutral; it is selective."

We are celebrating baby Ava this week for #SundayFishSketch! For #nursing theme here is Neolamprologus brichardi. In Taiwan hobby circles, cichlids are called 慈鯛—literally a tenderhearted/motherly fish. And this cichlid even forms cooperative nurseries where many parents and young care for fry! 🐡🦑🧪

Been feeling like I have (at least) one foot in art block and/or burnout so I tried to paint a fish with Poscas to turn my brain off a bit :")
Also gonna try using hashtags, please don't judge-
#posca #SciArt (maybe?) #art

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

Just added a couple of limited edition stickers at canopyrobin.etsy.com! They're an A6 trans flag and trans dropout loopdeloop.

Unlike my normal easy-peel stickers, these are an eggshell design with extra-strong adhesive, so they'll break at the edges if tampered with and become very hard to remove

the dropout game changer loop de loop symbol as a sticker in the trans flag colours, with text that says we've been here the whole time. The design is broken down one edge where someone has tried to remove it

Outrageous! The moon rotation in this shot of
The Lion King remake implies it was shot far into the northern hemisphere. What happened to realism? Literally unwatchable.

Screenshot of shot with the full moon rising in front of Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa. Below are three moon diagrams showing the proper orientation of the moon from the northern hemisphere, equator (Kenya) and southern hemisphere. The moon from the film is aligned to the northern hemisphere version because realism means nothing any longer.
