•  Info Male 12 cm (4.7 in)-long five-spotted wrasse (Symphodus roissali) finalizing his nest during breeding season (typically from April to July), which will be offered to females so that they can spawn in there, Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. This species of wrasse are native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean from the Bay of Biscay to Morocco and through the coastal waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. It inhabits rocky areas usually within beds of at depths from up to 1 to 30 m (3.3 to 98.4 ft). It can reach 17 cm (6.7 in) in standard length, though usually not more than 12 cm (4.7 in) and feeds on molluscs, bivalves, gastropods, shrimps, sea-urchins and hydroids. If the male finds a female spawing in the nest he will then keep watch until the eclosion. All by me, Poco a poco (talk) 13:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

• Another sockpuppet of Livioandronico2013. In this discussion, it has been decided to strike out all his votes. --Aristeas (talk) 15:35, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment I'd like the fish to play a more important role in the picture. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:33, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

  Well, not in this one, I guess. To me the highlight here is rather the nest as an gift to a female, and the story behind the image, than the male fish itself. I have captured this fish looking for algae for the nest, without the nest on the picture and I don't thing it's interesting enough for FP but, it's a matter of taste. --Poco a poco (talk) 16:18, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment I haven't decided whether or how I might vote here, but your file description is so helpful, I hope you include all that information in Spanish, too, and regardless of the outcome of this nomination, this looks like a valuable photo for COM:VIC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:28, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Support I am impressed by the story of that fish building a nest and the photo shows that perfectly. --Aristeas (talk) 12:37, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
• I'd like the fish to be sharper, but  Support per Aristeas. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Crop at left may have been unavoidable but it is nevertheless disturbing. Daniel Case (talk) 02:08, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

  Daniel Case: Along with some sharpening (wrasee)/cloning I've included a bit more image on the left. No sure if that's what you were asking for. I didn't crop the nest for fun, I just didn't want to show to much of the neighbouring sea urchin Poco a poco (talk) 20:07, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
