Penned Fish on White



White paper not white bread!

Yes, Karla F...I do occasionally draw on white paper and while this is no particular sort of fish, he clearly considers himself to be Every Fish...and a Dreamyfish all the same.

global warming raises risk of food poisoning



This drawing is titled, Moonlighter's Confession and has a sad tale to tell--but there's another sad tale in this AP article from Canada (the US article disappeared while I was typing so I'll try linking to this version of the same article):
Seafood poisoning on the rise concerning the rarely fatal but horrid ciguatera poisoning gotten from eating tropical fish such as barracuda, grouper, and other fish who hang out around coral reefs.

Global warming and pollution are damaging our oceans' coral reefs and this is but one of the sorry outcomes as 50,000+ people worlwide suffer ciguatera poisoning each year--and cases are on the increase, sad to say--including in the US.

It's a miserable condition--with no antidote--which should be given a heads-up to tropical-fish-eaters everywhere.

US Fish & Wildlife Service's gag order

Imagine, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the very people charged with watching over the animals here in the U.S., writing a gag order for scientists on their staff. That's exactly what happened in late February, when Craig Perham and Janet E. Hohn received travel approval from their superiors with a big catch - don't talk about global warming or how it's affecting animal populations, especially polar bears.

Unfortunately, the Bush Administration continues to cover up the facts and cater to oil and coal companies. But it's time that it stopped.

Remove the gag orders, let the truth flow about global warming so that we can pass the Safe Climate Act and make real progress while we still have time.

Click on the link below or copy and paste it into your web browser to email the Fish and Wildlife Service, and ask them to stop censoring scientists. We need more discussion about global warming, not less.

Then, ask your friends and family to help by forwarding this post on to them.#

Save the Oceans!

And here's a new blog I found...an aquarium fish video blog Inside Aquarium which fairly rocks with product info and aquarium-related resources to help you keep your fish fit as fiddles!

A Gathering of Mermaids



This is not the first time Dreamyfish Art has been visited by mermaids who are, after all, friends of little fishes everywhere...



Mosey over to Lim's Limericks if you want to read the latest political limerick from Mr.A.Cat, formerly in service to our nation.
You'll find sassy and pithy verse with not a purr in sight...yet no rhymes are injured unduly in the creating of these lims.
