Hello All,

I am a cartoonist who enjoys drawing tropical fish. I was doing some general pet cartoons when someone suggested that I try tropical fish. Well, it was so much fun I had built up a nice inventory cartoons. I hope you enjoy them.

So your not in the hobby, just a cartoonist of the hobby?

Correct; I maintained a tank during my teenage years but that was many decades ago. I have been targeting the pet market with my stuff and tropical fish has become my favorite theme. I pick up a lot of material by just reading the various threads and I try to incorporate that material in my art.

I hope you like my work.

I of course suggest Angelfish ;) but that because they are my favorite. I'm sure shrimp would also be popular on here as well.

I have a cartoon that makes an angle fish reference. But shrimp is something new. Thanks for the idea.

Apistogramma or some of the SA and CA cichlids like midas, dempsey, and flowerhorns. As well would be liked. And of course the new faze axolotl. :) The axolotl would be good cartoon subjects. :)

Angels? Blah... Shrimp, Blah.... You need some of the big boys in there, the meat and potatoes of the fish world, THE CICHLIDS. The South/Central American Cichlids

You've gotta do some puffers too. With those big open mouths with teeth showing and bubbly eyes sticking out, they are already cartoony as is!

Lol I say do whatever strikes your fancy. Not what we all say. :) just a bunch of ideas thrown out there for ya :) And don't mind me and madness' banter. It's all in fun. He's a good guy. Check out his 'on the road with madness' series of YouTube videos. The videos of the fish he films might give you some ideas too. :)

Excellent suggestions - it's funny that this thread is nearing 100 views and I have not posted a cartoon yet. Talk about building expectations.

That could be a bad thing though ... if you don't deliver a fish picasso, this lot will probably riot ... breaking into LFS, stealing NLS, kidnapping fish ... it would be horrible.
