Trying to challenge myself to draw #fish again on a regular basis - here’s a quick doodle of an albino Acipenser ruthenus aka #sterlet (a type of #sturgeon).
I saw the most adorable little albino specimen the size of a goldfish in a local pet store recently. No idea why they were selling a fish that can grow to around 1m to the general public though.
@CatharticOutlet I feel the same way every time I see a red tailed cat in a pet store.
@PrincessPie I love redtails, but I totally agree! I haven’t seen any in pet stores here in Germany yet, but I have seen some babies being listed on local online marketplaces (of course you only ever see the babies for sale, never the adults)
@CatharticOutlet yeah. If I had my way I would have a swimming pool and like 5 of them, but they get so damn big! When I see one in a pet store I'm like whhhhhy? Like seeing people say regular ecos are a good starter fish for a 10 gallon. No, no they are not, and neither are goldfish.
@PrincessPie yup! I’d love a catfish pool myself but who has the time and resources for that… Sadly the coolest catfish species tend to be some of the biggest…
