Sunday Mood versus Monday Mood 😬

This longnose lancetfish, Alepisaurus ferox, was spotted at 1,235 meters (4,050 feet) in Monterey Bay with our remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Doc Ricketts. It was only our third observation of a lancetfish with MBARI ROVs, but surprised beach walkers often report deceased ones that wash up on our local shore. This open ocean swimmer can be found in all oceans except the polar seas and can grow to two meters (nearly seven feet) long.⁠ For more cool ocean news about the longnose lancetfish check out this article by The New York Times.

Silver arowana, always loves these South American fishes, when I had my tanks I had one that got quite large. In the wild, they jump out of the water quite high to knock their prey off low branches. #Silverarowana #southamericanfish #fishesofsouthamerica #huge #jumpers #sliver #coolfish #fish #fishoftheword #wildlife #fishes #imagesbylemke #lancelemke #wildlifephotography #nikonusa #wildlifelovers #animal_sultans #animal_captures #splendid_animals (at Milwaukee County Zoo)

A tiny fish of big importance: This wee blue chromis was hatched and raised by the New England Aquarium—a first for this species in captivity! See this fish on exhibit in the coral reef center at the Aquarium. #aquaculture #breakthrough #chromis #bluechromis #Chromiscyanea #coolfish #oceananimal #newenglandaquarium #boston #massachusetts (at New England Aquarium)
