No matter whether you're talking about butterflyfish, lionfish, parrotfish or whale sharks - fish are incredible creatures living in a mysterious realm of which we have much to learn. While living and working in the Fiji Islands I was fortunate enough to do a great deal of snorkeling and scuba diving. During this time I saw a plethora of fish adorned in the most spectacular colours and patterns. This round-up was inspired by these wondrous watery animals!
