It's May the 1st so that means it's Mermay and I've not posted art here in zonks. I did this last year and really enjoyed it. I gave myself a theme which was Fish keeping fish. Tropical freshwater to be exact. Like ones I have/have had in my tank etc but this year it's Marine fish! The whole dang big wet is my plaything this year. Also I wont be fully following the official Mermay prompts just the ones I like XD

Today I just wanted something easy to do so her pose is simple. Day 1 is the NZ supermarket classic the Hoki!

Oh how cool! I love Mermay

Do you have a plan mapped out for the month, or do you take suggestions?

Unread post by **cowmuflage** » Fri May 01, 2020 5:59 am

I have a few plans but I'm open to suggestions!

I'd suggest leafy seadragon, but I guess that's an obvious one

I've always loved Mandarinfish.

No matter, I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned.

Honestly? I totally forgot about both those fish and I think they'd be perfect! They have a Mandarinfish at the local aquarium and they are so pretty. I can't remember fully but there is something special about their blue colouring.

When I was a kid we use to catch Syngnathus rostellatus and have them as pets... not sure they ccount as Fish though

They'd count as fish because they are fish! Just long ones XD

Day 2 of Mermay is the Atlantic mackerel. She's dancing because I have had the Safety Dance stuck in my head all day.

I'm glad you guys like them! Also wain that video is great A+

Oh I found out the fact about these guys! They are one of only two vertebrate species known to have blue colouring because of cellular pigment.

That's cool. I had no idea! I figured at least some other fish and frogs used blue pigment, but I guess not.

I love the shrimp in her drink

Yeah I thought it was fitting for a sea drink.

Day 4 of is the Indo-Pacific sailfish! I know it's a bit cliche to do a billfish fencing but I really like fencing poses.

Really nice pose!

Same, I think she looks fantastic!

Thanks! :3

Day 5 of Mermay is the European anchovy. I like them on pizza but I wont hate you if you don't!

I never tasted it to be honest.. does that mean she is a cannibal?

Unread post by **cowmuflage** » Wed May 06, 2020 3:08 am

They are not everyones cup of tea. They can be very strong and salty! Also most likely yes? XD

Day 6 of Mermay is the Leafy seadragon! They are not leafs or dragons shockingly.

Very cool! Thanks for that

They're one of my favourite local fish species. Truly amazing to see IRL.
