top 5 fish :)

omg yes thank u!!!!

5. Coelacanth

They were thought to be extinct since the late cretaceous, but were rediscovered in the 20th century in Africa! They're in a subclass related to lungfish and fish from the Devonian!

4. Frilled shark

Another living fossil, like the coelacanth! The frilled shark has its name because of its peculiar gills :). It also has an anguiliform body and spiked teeth!

They are aplacental-viviparous (the mother carries the eggs inside her uterus until they hatch)

3. Gulper eel

Deep sea fish yeah!!!!! This fish gets its name due to their ability to extend their stomach and mouth to catch bigger prey ^ and in spanish is called "pez pelícano" (pelican fish) because of the same characteristic :D

Gulper eels live in the bathypelagic zone and have a tail equipped with a bioluminiscent lure to attract prey 💖

2. Reedfish

This species is a freshwater one :) Reedfish or ropefish are bichirs, they have lungs in addition of their gills. It can get up to 40 cm long!

They have peaceful and curious personalities, are nocturnal and can sometimes come out of the water in the wild, moving like a snake and feeding on worms and other invertebrates.

🥰💕1. ANGLERFISH BABEYYYYYY💕😍

My favorite animal ever i love them sososososo much

They're an order of teleost fish that live mainly in the bathypelagic zone and below, they are known for their extreme sexual dymorphism and their peculiar way of reproduction, where the male bites the female and fuses with her.

The females are several times larger than the males, the biggest ones can measure up to 60 cm, and the females have a bioluminiscent lure to attract prey! it's filled with glowing bacteria that she shakes to attract her prey.

There are some species that have highly sensitive "hairs" that sense movement (like the one in this gif ^) and also use that to catch prey :)
