Fish fact #709
Black dragonfish!
Tumblr media
These deep sea fish go through a very drastic transformation as they mature: the adults that everyone is familiar with start out as tiny, slender, transparent larvae, with the most peculiar stalk-eyes! The cartilaginous stalks can be up to half of the whole larva's body length, and it is theorised that they help the young fish with predator avoidance and finding food. As the fish ages, its eyes are slowly pulled into the head, so to speak.
Below is an adult female to compare!

It’s kind of amazing just how much different types of presentation can give you radically different ideas about animals. Like you take something like the deep-sea dragonfish and the photos they’re presented in often make them look like a leviathan right out of a horror story:

But then you’ll sometimes see a photo that puts them more to scale and then they’re suddenly just

Daily fish fact #718
Sloane’s viperfish!
Tumblr media
It has some of the biggest teeth proportionate to its body, about half of the size of its head! Its teeth are so big that when the fish closes its jaws, many of the teeth curve outside of the mouth instead of fitting inside, and to completely open its jaws to swallow prey whole it must unhinge its jaw and snap its head back. Its teeth are also transparent, to not be visible in the bioluminescent light it produces. It is thought that the daggerlike teeth are used to trap smaller prey, and to wound and hold on to larger prey.
