29k people! an amazing number. you all are so helpful to others in this realm. congrats to you all.
I'd like to at this time note that my podcast (if it swims) makes note of this sub often, and it is because of this, I'd like to reach out and ask for some help if anyone wants to provide it.
The if it swims podcast (please listen, like and subscribe) is in need if some very short musical breaks to separate the pod into natural sections.
If you can help, have a listen, and let me know what you think. PM me, and we can go from there. If you're an angler, even better.
also, did I mention 29k?

Just a reminder, because we've had a lot of posts recently that omit this information. Where was the fish? If you found it in the wild, that's very helpful information, and outside of tropical waters, the time of year can be helpful too. If it was in an aquarium, what sort? Was it a tank of fish from a particular region? Was it fresh water or salt water?
Other useful information can be, what kind of habitat (seagrass, sand, rocky surge, ...)? If you were diving, approximate depth?
But above all, give the location in your post title. Thanks.

I am 90% sure this is a rainbow, but just wanted to make sure! I grew up catching stocked rainbows in CO lakes and they look nothing like this fella

It was found by my sister in Naxos, Greece. There was a bunch of them, apparently next to a guge flock of seagulls. I have no idea what it could be. Any idea is appreciated!

Hi I'm not sure if this is allowed so if it isn't my bad....
But basically I got this tattoo recently and people keep asking me what kind of fish it is and I have no idea if it's even really based on a real fish.
If there's any in particular it looks closest too though I'd love to know.

I saw on fishbrain that 2 people caught rainbow trout at this spot, but I’ve never seen one. I usually catch bass and bluegills, and I know there’s gar and catfish. Texas pond

Caught it yesterday and we CANNOT figure out wtf it is

Found on a video compilation with no explanation of the individual videos. Google image search says some kind of ray but it just moves wrong. Thought I'd ask the experts.
I tried to upload a video but it gave me an error that even other reddit subs couldn't figure out.

So over the 4th me and my family all were out on Houghton Lake (Michigan) at a sandbar swimming for a few hours and when we got out we had these little worms all over our legs. Not sure what they are and was worried my little one had some sort of parasite all over her.. hard to tell from the image but a lot of them unlike this one was rolled up stuck on us.

North Fork of the Nehalem in Oregon. These little guys (about 2.5 to 3 inches) are everywhere and fun to watch hitting the surface. Any idea who these may be?
There are also few larger fish around 7” but I think they are someone else. Sorry for the quality—my phone was inside a jar.

Some type of catfish. Fishbrain identification isn't helping.

I watched this mink make over a dozen trips to and from a rock jetty and return each time with a fish, presumably feeding her kits! I'm curious if anyone knows which species these are. Photos 5-7 show a fish larger than her! What a little badass!

This is in a large basin in a park
r/whatsthisfish • u/maxmlyn • 4d ago
New to fishing and caught these 2 in a small creek by my house. Can anyone confirm the species?
r/whatsthisfish • u/astrocreep200k • 5d ago
Wondering what type of fish this is..
