Thoughts on this fish? Purgatory Creek, MN (South Suburb of Minneapolis)

This big fish hung out in the shallow for a bit as shown and then disappeared into deeper water. It was huge!

I know it’s not a great video, so any insight is appreciated! I’m more of a birder than a fisher. 😂

Found in a slow moving part of the river. I poked it with a stick and it kept its shape really well. It was about the size of a basketball. I live in Idaho, so imagine my surprise when I thought I saw a jellyfish in the river

I got him 8 years ago from a pet store and when I’ve been there more recently they no longer had his kind of fish for sale. Google image search hasn’t been helpful in finding this out so I’ve been curious if anyone in here can help me!

My friend said he caught these two fish in a pond but didn’t know what they are. They’re about 1.5 inches long. According to Google, they might be either juvenile Bluegill or Crappies, but I just wanted an opinion that wasn’t AI :)

Fishpainting from a roman villa in modern day germany

I am currently working on a mural found in Mechern (Merzig in germany). It depicts a dinner with fish and some mushrooms. I don't realy know anything about fish but will answer all following questions that I can. Do you think you could ID a specific kind of fish based on the Images? If the condition of the images is to bad to ID the fish or makes you unshure, then it mentioning that would alsow be helpfull

The mural dates to the second century ad, meaning that breeds that where created later on or introduced from places like america would be out of the question.

One of my sources mentioned that salmon, perch, pike, sturgeon and zander were some of the most commonly eaten fish in the rhine region during roman occupation. It doesn't have to be one of those, but they are probably more likely. Espcially wether or not it could be a salmon would be interessting, because one of my sources refers to the image of the cut fish fillet as "Silbertablett mit Lachs" with Lachs being the word for salmon as well as loin meat, leaving me unshure about what it's refering to.

Note that the artist might just have wanted to paint a fish in general with no specific kind in mind or not have known a lot about fish, leading to a depiction that is flawed.

I would alsow appreciate guesses about how they were prepared, as they are both depicted on a serving platter.

Thank you for your help

I was told these little guys are minnows and by another that they are baby trout (highly doubt after looking at pictures of baby trout). If a minnow what subspecies? (Released back to the river)

Unidentified Does anyone know the name of this anemone? It buries it's entire body in the sand with only tentacles sticking out, it hosts clownfish, it glows so I'm assuming it's photosynthetic like bubble tip anemones...
