Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today’s wet beast is: Hadal Snailfish

Olive’s wet beast fact: this little guy just broke the record for deepest fish ever recorded! 8,336 meters below sea level! Let’s fucking go boys!

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

I was watching some Nautilus live videos and I think I fell In love with the snailfish (click for better quality)

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the Mariana snailfish!

The Mariana snailfish, known by scientific name Pseudoliparis swirei is known for their lives in the mariana trench, and their adaptations for the depth. They live almost exclusively in the hadal zone, leading to the nickname hadal snailfish, meaning stretches of the ocean made entirely out of V shaped depression in the ground and tunnels that can be anywhere between 6 to 12 kilometers below sea level, that's more than five miles below. Mariana snailfish are the deepest recorded fish, with a currently recorded depth range of 20,335–26,496 ft. Found  in the Izu-Ogasawara trench, a Pacific trench that stretches from Japan to the northmost section of the Mariana trench.

The body is tadpole-esc in shape, like most snailfish, but unlike their far more shallow dwelling brethren, they lack almost all pigment, along with what appears to be little, or no eyesight, and in what is most interesting of all, there is incomplete ossification of it's bones, specifically the skull. There are large gaps where bone doesn't grow, as the pressure would crush it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Thinking about mariana trench snailfishes

Look at these funky little guys. Aren't they cute and a royal spit in the face of death and hostile habitats. I love them.

So,,,

Did anyone think about this while seeing Codeflippa take Mariana to the nether to be kidnapped

The whole “name 5 roaches after your greatest enemies” thing

Slime did label Mariana, aka his bitch wife, as an enemy after all-

the mariana snailfish is. an alternate form of the axolotl

#i once described them as a rubber axolotl that you left on your car dashboard in the summer #and that’s what they are. #anyway the mariana snailfish has weird bones (notably it’s skull) with incomplete ossification all over the place #they’re top predators in the hadal zone and eat pretty much anything smaller than it #it’s a contender for the deepest living fish along with another species of snailfish that has only briefly been caught on video #dove talks #ocean #axolotl #i woke up wanting to talk about the snailfish. sorry #this is a goof. theyre very different species #they just look similar due to somewhat similar environments #the axolotls native habitat is an underground lake which can require some of the same adaptations as the deep sea #i could make this comparison with cave olms as well. they’re even more like snailfish! #snailfish 🤝 olms: no eyes no problems #fun fact about axolotls as well. they have teeth!

Deep sea snailfish in the Mariana trench:

#i love you deep sea snailfish in the mariana trench...

i dont get why soulmates has to have romantic connotations.

to my knowledge there's five meanings for mate and thats: a) the scientific one, where animals partner up generally for the purpose of having lots of babies, b) the british/australian one, which is just a synonym for friend, c) the nautical one, which i cant really define but its a rank on a ship d) the one at the end of roommate or cellmate, which is just sharing something e) the chess one, which i think is exactly the same as checkmate or i have check and mate mixed up and its where you could get their king but they still can escape.

so the possible meanings are as follows: our souls are having sex, our souls are friends :), my soul would be subordinate to yours if we were on a soul pirate ship, we share a soul, and my soul could easily kill yours

none of those are inherently romantic!

#i kept remembering additional definitions for mate when writing this #if theres more im going to go live in the mariana trench with the snailfish #i dont play chess often if you cant tell #and when i do i usually lose #i do confound my family (good at chess) though #because i have no idea what im doing #so they cant predict my moves #its a pretty effective strategy all things considered

Hey Arran! Quick question: What marine animal (that we know of) lives the deepest in the sea? And how do they survive under that enormous pressure?

ITS THE SNAILFISH!!! ITS NUMBER 5 ON THE SPOOKY FISH LIST!!!

they live in the marianna trench at about 8,000m in depth, they're not studied very well as it is difficult to get samples to regular pressures.

they survive the depths through many adaptations at a molecular level such as pressure-resitant cartilage and proteins as well as a loss of color and good eyesight.

Although the adults spend their time vibing at extreme depths, we have reason to believe that the larva spend their time at around 1,000m

actually you know what, one more follow up to the recent posts. i hope the googly-eyed stubby squid explodes this round. you can do whatever you want of course i literally can't stop you but i hope it gets vaporized

#GOOGLY-EYED STUBBY SQUID IS. NOT A SPECIES. I FUCKED IT UP #so this ONE SQUID. is SWEEPING. #i had such a hard time finding fun facts about them because everything just went back to THIS ONE SQUID #SCREAMS. #googly eyed stubby squid ONLY got in because i needed to pick one fish from the fish that got 1 nomination #and my bestie picked this guy #and i thought it was fine and it would get demolished fast #no hatred to my bestie for selecting funny squid. however. bro we could've had mariana snailfish #we could've had acorn worms. or the slender sole. or the predatory tunicate. #instead we have one silly lookin squid destroying everything #i refuse to stay silent about this. it wasn't supposed to get this far #and seeing people more passionate about this one single funny squid than my favorite fish has been killing me #deep sea fish tourney

paint 3d is okay actually

#so....... see you in a few months lol #theres a mariana snailfish model!! #and giant tube worms and amphipods and !!!!! #and also bull kelp!!
