FASA 365 Day 244, Quad Cauda Rutrum Maxilla, (Four Tail Shovel Jaw) 3-4 ft Poisonous Bottome Feeder.
Not for eating.
Spikes deter bigger fish from chomping down or attempting to swallow them hole.
Shovel jaw scoops up the bottom sand and filters the edible from inedible.
Four tip tail makes this a highly maneuverable but slow moving fish.
Artist Note. This one started by looking at the linoleum on the bathroom floor. I found the jaw first, and the brow… sketched that and then took that image back to the drawing table. The fish was decided upon after.
My step daughter thinks Im inching closer and closer to zoo plankton territory. Could be.
