salutations my sausage soldiers
i decided i should probably have a intro post or something to prove im not a bot.
uhhhh…..i dont actually know what to put here so…heres everything i know about lion fish
lionfish are arguably the best type of fish and i dont care what people say, they’re amazing, and heres why. although they look pretty, they are one of the most dangerous and invasive fish species known. the spikes on their backs carry poison that could paralyze or even kill a human. they originated from indo pacific and came to other countries and oceans by people taking them and bringing them with them. the lionfish was discovered by Carl Linnaeus back in 1758 and described as “Gasterosteus volitans” in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae. they were first found in U.S. waters back in the 1980s, but in small numbers. the most accepted theory for how lionfish were introduced to the atlantic and caribbean sea is that Hurricane Andrew flooded aquarium stores in southern florida, releasing lionfish into the waters.
what makes them even cooler is how fast they reproduce. a single female lionfish can release tens of thousands of eggs every few days, which is one reason their population exploded so quickly. they also have almost NO natural predators in the atlantic, so nothing really keeps them in check. because of that, they eat a ton of smaller fish and mess up coral reef ecosystems by reducing biodiversity. another skibidi thing is that they use their fins to corner prey, almost like they’re trapping it before striking, which makes them really effective hunters. even though they’re dangerous, people actually hunt and eat lionfish now to try to control their population, and apparently they taste pretty good. “mama, may i have lion fish? no diabito, roll back to kichen”. and this is why i think (KNOW) they’re one of the COOLEST fish EVER.
sharks aint got nothing on them.
