Piscis Austrinus

Piscis Austrinus, also known as Piscis Australis, is a fish drinking the waters pouring from the jars of Aquarius.
The constellation was known in ancient times, and is said to be the original "Pisces". It is thought that the constellation referred to the Assyrian fish god Dagon and the Babylonian god Oannes. Even the Arabs called the constellation Al Hut al Janubiyy, the Large Southern Fish.
