Livingston was the name of Picard's red Australian lionfish. It lived inside the tank of the ready room, aboard the USS Enterprise-D from 2364 to 2371, until it was nearly destroyed at Veridian III. (TNG movie: Generations)
In 2368, Q decided to change the crew of the USS Enterprise-D into Klingons. This included changing Livingston into a Klingon version of the lionfish as well. (TNG comic: "The Way of the Warrior")
Livingston survived the crash at Veridian III and eventually lived aboard the USS Enterprise-E. (Star Trek: The Magazine Issue 10: "Briefing: Captain's Ready Room")
By 2386, Livingston was deceased. (TNG novel: Headlong Flight)
Background information[]
Named for TNG director and producer David Livingston, the aquarium was intact at the end of the film. It was unknown if the fish itself survived afterwards in canon. The aquarium was vaguely seen again in Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek Nemesis.
