My two photos might be the first? I can't find any of this species on ZooChat at least.

Just noticed there is no photo of Red-rimmed viviparous snail, Red-rimmed melania, Red-rim melania, Malayan livebearing snail, Malayan trumpet snail or Malaysian trumpet snail or MTS (Melanoides tuberculata) in the Gallery. So this is a new species and even a new genus for the Gallery despite being a common animal in aquarium trade. So I've uploaded the first image to the Cosmocaixa Barcelona (Spain) and the second one from my own aquarium.

Searching by scientific name and common name Mummichog and alternative common name Mud minnow, there are probably no photos of this species in the Gallery if we don't count with a photo of a couple unidentified Fundulus sp. that may or may be not this species, and a bunch of photos of exhibits containing this species but were the fishes can be barely or not seen.
Mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) at Zoo aquarium de Madrid, Spain. I've also photographed it at Sevilla aquarium but the photo is of worse quality.

I've definitely posted mummichog exhibits, but not sure about an actual photo of the fish. They're very common in nature centers around here so I assumed there were plenty of photos of them.

A new species for the Gallery, the Australian cockroach (Periplaneta australasiae). A species actually native to Africa and an exotic pest in Australia, country that have plenty of native roach species. The Gallery counted until now only with exhibit pics for this species, but with the insects not seen in them.

Another new species for the Gallery, which surprises me since it's a big and striking butterfly not rare in an area where there are many Zoochatters as is southern USA and not exceedenly rare in worldwide butterfly houses.

This is also new for the Gallery - until now there was only a -fairly recent- photo of a whole exhibit that contained this species, tough not visible in said pic.
Giant keyhole limpet (Megathura crenulata) at SeaWorld San Diego, in the touch pool. These are impressive creatures, more than double the size of usual keyhole limpets.
