Alligator gar are popular among “monster” fishkeepers. As the name “monster” implies, they do get to be huge, meaning they will outgrow the vast majority of tanks on the market and end up requiring custom installations.
They may seem plain, but there is a subtle beauty to these small, riverine fish.
Garibaldi! Like many species of damsels, Garibadli actually change color patterns through their lives. Fascinating!
The prettiest Logperch I caught while fishing a new creek. I would love to set up a tank to keep them at some point
Shedd has a sturgeon touch tank so OF COURSE I pet them.

Before and After
This tropical fish was rescued from shallow waters off Rhode Island back in 2015. Look how much it has grown!
California clam shrimp (Cyzicus californicus) at a vernal pool in Sonoma County, California. Clam shrimp are branchiopod crustaceans related to water fleas, brine and fairy shrimp (sea monkeys), and tadpole shrimp. Like their relatives, clam shrimp spend most of the year as drought-resistant eggs buried in the sediment of dried pools, hatching after the pools are filled by seasonal rains. Once hatched, they have anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months to grow to full size and produce the next generation of eggs. If you look closely at the water of the pool you can see a couple of barely-visible clam shrim p swimming close to the surface. The turbid water is the result of the clam shrimp stirring up the sediment as they filter out food particles.
I didn’t know clam shrimp could be that big outside the deep sea abyss!?!? I need these!?!?
