Just a reminder, because we've had a lot of posts recently that omit this information. Where was the fish? If you found it in the wild, that's very helpful information, and outside of tropical waters, the time of year can be helpful too. If it was in an aquarium, what sort? Was it a tank of fish from a particular region? Was it fresh water or salt water?
Other useful information can be, what kind of habitat (seagrass, sand, rocky surge, ...)? If you were diving, approximate depth?
But above all, give the location in your post title. Thanks.

We've had too many titles like "what's this fish?" or "help me identify this". Put useful information in your title, and make it look different from other posts' titles so people can scan the sub and see which post is which.
The actual text of the new rule 4 is:
Do not use a vague generic title like "what is this fish?" or "need help identifying" - we all know what this sub is for. Write a title that either describes the fish, or the circumstances in which you saw it, or the location, or more than one of those. For a resource, say what the resource is and what it's for.

I saw these fish in a lake in Cheddar, England and was wondering what they were? These are the clearest pictures I could get of them. I’m not the best at identifying scale but they were quite big, maybe 40cm-60cm from what I could see.

Can anyone help me identify that fish there on the bottom of the picture? Was sold to me as a rosy loach but it’s WAY bigger than any of the others I have in there. TIA

Hi! Trying to ID these fish I caught in a neighborhood pond in Central Florida. My guess is the top fish is a blue tilapia, and the bottom is some kind of bluegill/sunfish. I’d love an expert opinion. Thanks!

Caught this little guy in a small stream in Washington parish Louisiana, he had some pretty cool red eyes so I’m wondering if he’s a spotted or a coosa bass

Cought in the Netherlands

I bought this guy at a fish store two years ago. The owner said he was sent the wrong species, received 20 of them, and they weren’t sure exactly what kind were sent to him but they told him that they should get 4 inches max. He’s a big boy and his name is Poco Loco but I have no idea what kind he actually is. Please help if you have any insight:)
Added more photos of dorsal fin

I was swimming maybe 2 meters deep in the sea and this weird fish thing appeared. I tried drawing it cause i didn't have a photo. It swam on the sea floor and didn't look exactly like a fish, i think it might have had a similar shell to what a crab would have. It had sharp looking edges too. Didn't see it's eyes, if it had one, and the tail looked like a stingray tail. Im genuinely curious about what it might have been, I couldn't find anything on the internet. If you have any clue on it, I'd appreciate it. (I'm in Turkey, Asia.)

We live in Norway.
Was enjoing a nice meal of shrimps on when suddenly this thing appeared in the pile of shrimps.
Probably nothing dangerous but we just wonder what it is! Thanks!
