I have to remember I have old stuff I could post for fun if I wanted haaa. Here was a doodle page for more humanoid practice I made months ago of Gourami having some frustrations.
Daily fish fact about sparkling gouramis? They're cute and neat :)
Yes they are! :D
Daily fish fact #572
Sparkling gourami!
Each individual has a completely unique pattern of spots! These fish are bubble nesters, which means the males construct nests made out of bubbles where the eggs and young fry are kept.
I've adopted a honey gourami a few months ago (he's living in a planted 60L with 6 endlers)
He's doing fine but he refuses every single food i give him (i tried a variety of pellets, flakes, daphnia, other dried foods) he always tries to eat but spits it out (yes, i tried crushing it into minuscule bites but it didn't help :()
The only things he eats are frozen bloodworms, and bladder snails (if i'm nice enough to crush one for him) but i'm afraid this is not the best diet ? i wouldn't want him getting sick !
I'm surprised because every care guide online says they're no picky eaters ;-; !
Have you ever had a similar issue ? I'd love some advice if you have some to share !
Finally got to show off Gourami's glamor form recently! She's the cursed Arch Fae steering the show with my 2 in one player character. Sadly she's still very cursed to remain as a small school of little boring fish on a treant's back, but with the help of Maggie, they were able to conjure illusions to use to talk to a group of fish folk that have been struggling to be a unified force lately. It's getting really important that they get their act together. A world set to have an Armageddon sometime soon and all that, so maybe hearing from one of their goddesses that has been missing for near a century, would help light some fires.
As for the design! I had help from my friend mainframe110 several years ago with her initial look. I told him I'd like her to be mostly inanimate looking, being made of coral that eventually gives out to shaped water that houses the fish that also make up her entire being, since she is a kind of hive mind. It's only since like march 2022 I started trying to learn how to draw people but I've been getting the hang of some things! I was able to finalize the design by that point from his initial sketch, getting her body shape and little details in order! I'm happy to have her look out!
