Striped fish caught in the ocean in Japan early this afternoon. Any ideas?
I caught it in the ocean early this afternoon using marine worms.

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.

We've had too many titles like "what's this fish?" or "help me identify this". Put useful information in your title, and make it look different from other posts' titles so people can scan the sub and see which post is which.
The actual text of the new rule 4 is:
Do not use a vague generic title like "what is this fish?" or "need help identifying" - we all know what this sub is for. Write a title that either describes the fish, or the circumstances in which you saw it, or the location, or more than one of those. For a resource, say what the resource is and what it's for.

(Caught at Olde Izaak Walton pond, VA). Mouth seems small for a green sunfish and I've never seen blue along the back like that, but I'm not sure

Relatively shallow, probably around 12m depth (but could be anywhere from 5-18m).

I caught these fish today at a lake. I'm guessing names but I'm not sure and the Google lens is giving multiple names so I'm confused. I'm thinking to create a biotope so got all these fish from the same place. Ik they are schooling fish but I don't have the numbers atm also I'm quarantining them, so will get some more to complete their schools on Sunday.
Ids?:
Indian glass fish, some kind of barbs, barb fry, idk some random fish fry I'm guessing but the lens says some kind of rasboras.

Hey guys! Went camping near the river in the rural village of Meghalaya. It was a valley about 10kms away from the border to Bangladesh. No tourists usually visit this area and it's mostly the village guys who went fishing here! Tons of unexplored places here. Any idea as to what species is this?

I can never tell when they're this small (two different fish, caught at Goose Creek VA)
r/whatsthisfish • u/Reb3l_Vanguard • 5d ago
(Goose creek VA). I'm covering up the ear which sucks for ID, didn't think about it at the time. Hopefully there's other cues that I'm just not noticing here?

It's got the irregular spots of a black crappie, but the longer body and fewer dorsal spines of a white crappie. Is this a hybrid? Caught in western Pennsylvania. Measured with a tape at just over 9 inches.

saw a group of these swimming on the water surface just close to neraki bay, nafplio, greece. Have been trying to ID and my best guesses are baby eels, dice snakes, marine leeches (or maybe some sorta fish?) the movement doesn't seem quite like fish nor does the surface swimming behaviour but someone enlighten me as to what I was swimming with for about 30 mins before noticing lol

Apologies for the bad pictures! Seen at Miami Beach, FL. Seemed to just be chilling there, would occasionally turn to the side. There were a few others nearby too.
