Photo Credits

Our photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under open licenses. Any exception is labeled as AI-generated below, and we never use AI-generated images for a species or a real product. For the interactive tank we resized the photos and removed their backgrounds or faded their edges, and some are mirrored so every animal faces the same way. For species pages we resized and compressed them, and the first photo on a species page also appears on finder listings, the home page and our best-fish guides. Each entry says where the photo is used, and each link leads to the original photo and its full license terms. Our edited versions of CC BY-SA photos are shared under the same license.
