For scales, I would probably use some kind of procedural texture, but if you just want to get a bmp texture, then just grab a camera and go down to your local fish market! I'm sure they won't mind.:D

Yeah, I really do need to update that set, as they were tailored for a guy doing deeeeeep sea fish. Those little nightmare guys float'n 'round way down below.

There are some really decent shots of more common fish. I have one in there that is a huge side shot of your most sterotypical fish. Works great for textures. It's fish.jpg i think. I know, real discriptive.

Anyway, hope they could help out some. Keep us posted on your progress.
