Welcome to whatsthisfish!
Yes, this is a complete ripoff of whatsthisbug.
If you have a photo of a fish you'd like to identify, submit it here and we'll see if we can figure out what the hell it is.
In your post title, please include where the fish was, and when, or at least the source of the photo, in your post title. If it was in an aquarium say what you know about the type of tank it was in (freshwater or salt? does it cover a particular region or type of habitat?)
Flair your post! Click "flair" at the left below the link. Update flair if someone identifies your fish or suggests an identification.
Before you post, we are not going to kill it with fire, so don't ask (or shoot it with an arrow, or throw it on the bank) Thanks.
When you comment with an identification, include your reasons, so others can learn from you how to identify similar fish in the future. Please do not make random guesses. The goal of this subreddit is to provide positive leads. False leads are counter-productive.
Please also cite/link a source whenever possible.
Consider /r/species for non-fish aquatic creatures (or any other sort of living thing).
Resources that can help people identify fish are also welcome, within reason and moderator discretion. Otherwise, off-topic posts are subject to removal.

Appeared to be 2ish feet long. Intercostal, Gulf of Mexico. Broke the line right before being fully reeled in.
Thoughts?
Caught last week in the Fraser River between Chilliwack and Hope. I have an idea but I would like to get it confirmed. Thanks!
Intercostal Gulf of Mexico
I’m almost embarrassed to ask because I’ve been a fisherman all my life and I have no idea what this is and there was no ID on it. I bet it fights like hell. Thanks!
Caught in ON, Canada.
Its huge... jt looks freshwater... it almost looks like a bass but no it's too narrow. Def not a pine or walleye... maybe it is idek. What fish is this!
Caught loads in the andaman sea
First fish I caught was foul hooked :( what is this fish? I am thinking grouper, but not sure.
Released as soon as I could and it swam of well!
Anyone able to tell what these little guys my aunt got are? Sorry if it’s a little blurry 😅
The ends of their fins are an extra bright yellow and they have very blue eyes, yellowish color, very small.
