Up until today, I had no idea there were two oarfish species! Here's a giant oarfish for - the world's longest bony fish, capable of reaching 11m.

Though they may be short in stature compared to some others, here is a fish with a long lifespan. One orange roughy near Tasmania was aged at 250 years old.

Instead of a long fish, I drew the fish with the longest name: the lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi!

Attempted to draw a dumbo octopus (yes that’s an actual species!) for ! Think I was thinking a little too much of the Disney character!

My pick for deep water fish is this smooth oreo dory (Pseudocyttus maculatus) who lives at depths between 400 - 1500 m

The quintessential deep-sea fish, the humpback anglerfish, is well-adapted for life at 2000 m below the ocean's surface - its "lure" (called an esca) is filled with bioluminescent bacteria that reel in prey in the cold darkness of the bathypelagic zone

The sea toad can be found in waters of 2000+ meters! These fish are a type of anglerfish and have a lure within a depression between the eyes. I think they’re cuter than the average anglerfish!

Julimes pupfish (Cyprinodon julimes), male specimen. Extinct in the wild now 😭

This week I chose the deep sea Dragonfish, an amazing bioluminescent predator that I actually discovered thanks to show!

Like , I also picked a forehead brooding nurseryfish (Kurtus gulliveri) for Father’s Day See their post for egg placement. Read that this strategy may keep the eggs out of hypoxic/anoxic conditions.
I liked the colors quite a bit.
