Syngnathus typhle

Pipefish ans seahorses, seadragons and and pipehorses, belong to the Syngnathidae family, which means 'fused jaw'. They are a kind of fish and belong to the same phylum as goldfish and herring. Here are a few of my favorites...



The Deep-snouted Pipefish can be found in the Baltic and Mediterranean. Both sub species vary from brown to green depending on the environment. This was done with a light watercolor wash and then details and shading built up with watercolor pencils.
