Artist Note: At times customers or anglers request us to use a reference photograph to paint by. If so our skilled artists will identify any unique characteristics in the photo which are later reflected in the completed paint scheme. This is why no two mounts are ever exactly alike and explains the differences you may see in the coloration of the various mounts.

- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Dactylopteridae
- Average Weight: 5 - 20 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: The Flying Gurnard can be found all along the waters of Japan, Polynesia, and even finding its way in the shallow seas of Hawaii.
- Biology: They may be called flying, but they actually “walk” along the bottoms of the ocean floor with their very wide and long fins that look like a wing span.Living on the bottom of the ocean, these fish make their resting spot along a seabed and come out during the day to find food to feed upon. They never leave their area and are always found on the sea floor, as their bodies are much to heavy to swim upwards.
- Physical Description: These fins usually have a neon blue ridge, and are covered in dark spots along with their body. These spots gleam off the sunlight giving them a dazzling look as they search for their food along the sands. Their large fins can make their body look quite small, especially their tiny head with two alert eyes poking out. Their scales are somewhat heavy, which is one of the reasons why this fish is so slow. These scales are used as protection since they are thick.
