Where did you go to see that?

thats a cool fish.

fishboy · 09-26-2005, 08:26 PM

i myself haven't seen Molsa-mola but my grandpa has and he told my all about them they are peaceful by nature, saltwater, and i think can use wind navigation.

Anyone else got a cool fish

One time i was deep sea fishing and my brother caught a fish that looked like a barracuda and a needle fish. Lol that night when we were fishing a flying fish flew into our boat and hit him

This is called a blob fish, only 4 have ever been found.

**Cichlid Man** · 09-27-2005, 06:49 AM

This is the most recently discovered fish!

They live in the icy seas way down, that's why they're so difficult to catch.
Look at the ice in the picture.
This has got to be the strangest looking fish!

i believe the dumbo octopus is a cephalopod and belongs to the genus Grimpoteuthis.
and yes, i did have an octopus named ozzy.

here is a video of the dumbo octopus swimming (it may take a while to load):
