Fintroduction
Hello! My name is Ranch (she/her), I study aquatic sciences and I have a very big interest in aquatic life and biology, especially fish! I reblog a lot of pictures, art, information etc. related to biology, aquatic animals and other cool watery things, and I also post my own daily fish facts and art. If you’re more interested in the latter I have a designated art side blog, @ranchwamen
I tag animal death and jellyfish, you can ask me to tag other triggering subjects.
When you reblog or comment on my fish facts, please don’t make comments about eating the fish or how they taste, if they’re edible, etc. This account is not about eating fish!
Some tags I use and what I use them for:
fishfact — My own fish facts and recent news about them
fish facts — My own fish facts and facts done by other people
aquatic — Umbrella group for non-fish aquatic animals and water-related posts in general. I love many aquatic animals, but I focus mostly on fish so I tend to only tag them with the species name!
biology — fish facts and science news, mostly. Environmentalist topics also go here.
art — Cool art!
my art — Art that is cool AND mine!
not fish — Perhaps a misleading name, but this tag is for everything that is not related to fish, other aquatic animals, or water! Sometimes I put other biology things here too, like bugs, but it varies.
asks — Asks I get. My askbox is always open and I’m happy to receive fish fact suggestions, questions about aquatic animals, and the like!
polls — Polls! Self-explanatory.
my polls — Polls specifically made by me.
merfolk — Merpeople posts and art! Are you really a fish fan if you don't also like humans that are essentially fish? /lh
dream weirdness — I have funny dreams. Here’s drawings and posts about my dreams.
sirpaverse — I am a fan of worldbuilding and dabble in it myself. Mostly you’ll find pondering about merfolk and other centaur people and how they’d work and how society would function in a magical world with them, but also some other stuff :3
I try to stick to these the best I can, sometimes I make mistakes! Enjoy your time here :)
I've written an essay on the meaning of "fish" and what is and isn't a "fish, if you have questions about the topic I recommend reading or skimming it through! You can also always ask me about something, even about fishes and what counts as fish, I love answering questions and talking about fish <3
Here's the marine biology ask game meme!
Here's the fishblr fake dashboard post!
