I highlighted the entire rating system because i still don’t think this thing is real what the fuck kind of cryptid did you send me
im just…… what
why…. he got those ….. sticks……. this boy skipped leg day
so apparently he just sits on the seafloor like that and faces the direction that the current is coming from and just… opens it’s mouth to eat whatever falls in……. honestly ….. mood.
unquestionably sea horses are one of the most bizarre looking sea creatures. Pipefish, a close cousin is even weirder. Look at these fishes and you will agree with me.
Along with sea horses and sea dragons, the pipefish belong to the group
Syngnathidae. There are thousands of species living in the oceans.
Like their sea horse brethren, the male pipefishes also do parenting duties like carrying eggs and also “giving birth”.
Most of the pipefish species live in the coral reefs. Some can also be spotted in sea grass beds. Here are some more photos of them.
I hope that you will enjoy this post.
I used to keep a blue-striped pipefish, one of the ones in the top photo. They’re lovely little fish to watch, they glide beautifully around on invisible fins and intently inspect anything and everything for small creatures to snikt up with their little beaks.
“Here in the Pacific, 200 metres down, we enter an alien world… This is barreleye a fish with a transparent head filled with jelly so that it can look up through its skull.”– Sir David Attenborough

most fish just grow their eyes on the sides of they head but okay
They do that because it lets them look up and spot fish that are silhouetted against the light coming from above, and because it gives them a really wide field of vision, but keeps their eyes tucked inside and protected.
By far the silliest way of maintaining a position in the water I’ve ever seen. This is how he begs for food. And yes he has uprooted many plants recently; I’ll fix them next waterchange. Honestly though if you have the space for one of these fish they are by far the best to interact with.
The lungfish I had when I was a teenager was one of my best pets ever
