THE BLOBFISH

The blob fish to me still looks like an immature foetus.  Blobfish are typically shorter than 30 cm. They live at depths like 1,200 m (3,900 ft) where the pressure is greater than that of sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. Instead, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. Its relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats in front of it such as deep-ocean crustaceans. They have been voted as the world most fish but I've seen quite a reasonable specie that looks normal. 
Blobfish don't bite and they are ok in water. It has never been seen that blobfish was eaten because the moment it touches the earth, it turns to a blob.

In case you are thinking of keeping blobfish as pet,  no one has ever caught it alive except you provide a tank with high pressure.

FANGTOOTH

One look at this fish gives me the #wow! Really look. Could fishes like this exist? The truth is there are scarier fishes than this.
Fangtooths are beryciform fish of the family Anoplogastridae. The fangtooth is of two types, the common one being about 18cm long and found in the Pacific and Atlantic ocean.

A look at those eyes expresses an evil, gruesome character just like zoom when he's in the mask but I bet it's not that fast. *hmmm*

They consume anything they bump into, even things so large that it affects breathing so they use their fins to wave water onto their gills from behind and breathe.
It seems as if our guest isn't a fan of bright light and only comes up to the surface to feed at night. *werewolf? * *that's lame*



The offsprings are quite different from the adults that they were once thought to be a different species! They look grumpy, with weird spikes protuding out of their head with small teeth. They eat tiny crustaceans too and very soon they grow those big set of tooth which barely fits the mouth. I guess it's one of the reasons the mouth doesn't close fully tho, you don't want to end up with a pierced skull. *lol*

THE LION (PTEROIS) FISH

LIONFISH



The lion fish, also known as ''Pterois fish'' in the Atlantic range from 5 to 45 cm (2.0 to 17.7 in) in length, weighing from 0.025 to 1.3 kg. They are well known for their ornate beauty, venomous spines, and unique tentacles.Juvenile lionfish have a unique tentacle located above their eye sockets that varies in phenotype between species.
Lionfish are known for their venomous fin rays, an uncommon feature among marine fish in the East Coast coral reefs. The potency of their venom makes them excellent predators and venomous to fishermen and divers, (divers be careful). Pterois venom produced negative and effects when tested in both frog and clam hearts and has a depressing effect on rabbit blood pressure. In humans, Pterois venom can cause systemic effects such as extreme pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, breathing difficulties, convulsions, dizziness, redness on the affected area, headache, numbness and sweating. Rarely, such stings can cause temporary paralysis of the limbs, heart failure, and even death. Fatalities are common in very young children, the elderly, those with a weak immune system, or those who are allergic to their venom.
Even with the beauty of the Fish, it's deadly to humans.
