What type of fish is my pet fish? I think he’s a loach but can’t remember

I got him 8 years ago from a pet store and when I’ve been there more recently they no longer had his kind of fish for sale. Google image search hasn’t been helpful in finding this out so I’ve been curious if anyone in here can help me!

Black or White Crappie??

Okay, so I dont catch crappie often and after throwing a rooster tail one night I ended up catching a few. Are all of these white crappie or are they all black crappie? Are any of them a hybrid or is there a white crappie and black crappie??? Just need some help identifying

Caught this little guy in an alpine lake near Buena Vista, CO. A few people on iNaturalist think it may be a golden trout (or hybrid thereof). Any ideas?

This was the only fish I caught in this lake so I have no other population to compare it to.

This flounder with the green stripes doesn’t exist online.

We have caught a few of these in the gulf but we cannot find any information on it whatsoever. It looks like a normal southern flounder but the distinct stripes on its head say otherwise.

One of my buddies here got a fish from some sketchy-ass store.

The store employee said it was Parrot fish, I don't think so..
Can some time of y'all find this species for me? It screams cichlid.

Juvenile Bluegill?

My friend said he caught these two fish in a pond but didn’t know what they are. They’re about 1.5 inches long. According to Google, they might be either juvenile Bluegill or Crappies, but I just wanted an opinion that wasn’t AI :)

Fishpainting from a roman villa in modern day germany

I am currently working on a mural found in Mechern (Merzig in germany). It depicts a dinner with fish and some mushrooms. I don't realy know anything about fish but will answer all following questions that I can. Do you think you could ID a specific kind of fish based on the Images? If the condition of the images is to bad to ID the fish or makes you unshure, then it mentioning that would alsow be helpfull

The mural dates to the second century ad, meaning that breeds that where created later on or introduced from places like america would be out of the question.

One of my sources mentioned that salmon, perch, pike, sturgeon and zander were some of the most commonly eaten fish in the rhine region during roman occupation. It doesn't have to be one of those, but they are probably more likely. Espcially wether or not it could be a salmon would be interessting, because one of my sources refers to the image of the cut fish fillet as "Silbertablett mit Lachs" with Lachs being the word for salmon as well as loin meat, leaving me unshure about what it's refering to.

Note that the artist might just have wanted to paint a fish in general with no specific kind in mind or not have known a lot about fish, leading to a depiction that is flawed.

I would alsow appreciate guesses about how they were prepared, as they are both depicted on a serving platter.

Thank you for your help

Does anyone know the name of this anemone? It buries it's entire body in the sand with only tentacles sticking out, it hosts clownfish, it glows so I'm assuming it's photosynthetic like bubble tip anemones...

Caught at Poudre river, Northern Colorado

I was told these little guys are minnows and by another that they are baby trout (highly doubt after looking at pictures of baby trout). If a minnow what subspecies? (Released back to the river)

Is this just a bluegill?

Relatively new to fishing here. I’ve caught various species of panfish before but was thrown off by the color of this dude. Is this just a regular blue gill or something else? Hand for scale because dude was quite large.
Was caught in Lake Irogami in Wisconsin.
