This is the most festive fish we could find to wish you a very merry from all of us at the Biodiversity Heritage Library 🐟✨

This striking parrotfish — known locally as the Lena-Girawah — was described in 1834 as “the most splendid of the class of fishes denominated Parrot,” with a vivid green body and three bright red stripes.

As we look ahead to 2026, we wish our global community a year full of open knowledge, collaboration, and continued access to the world’s biodiversity literature.
