ojyarumaru Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Remember that tsunami that happened a while back? Well my friend's cousin went there for relief work and these deep sea fish were found washed up on the shore so he took some pictures. These are one of the weirdest fish I've seen. I had to share- Hope you enjoy. Pretty cool to know what lies deep in the big blue eh? Link to comment
mickey85 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I recognize a couple, but wtf is up with the one with the shovel on his nose??? Link to comment
onthefly Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 That's really wierd cuz tsunamis are not traditionally "high energy" in deep water...only in shallow water. Just goes to show how bad it was! Link to comment
Kogut Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 You can find these on ebaum's world and a lot of other sites... There are probalby 3 other threads on here w/ them for some oceanic event... Fun pics... But old spoof... :\ Link to comment

imafishboy Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 but the real question is, are those real? its kinda hard to believe fish like that exist. and you'd think there would be alot of talk about it everywhere. Link to comment
ojyarumaru Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 woah.. i guess my friend lied. sorry yall'. Link to comment
Kogut Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 http://www.ebaumsworld.com/seacreatures.html Ebaum's World Version... Maybe Mr. 170 posts' friend's cousin has a lot of friends. Oh yes they're real... The oceans of the world are so expansive and so incredibly unexplored... Mid-water species are amazing... I think there's a couple Discovery Chan. shows about them on every once in a while... Link to comment
imafishboy Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 if crap like this exists, the lochness monster probably does too! =D Link to comment
icenine Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 if crap like this exists, the lochness monster probably does too! =D Umm... sorry not anymore. The tank I was keeping 'ol nessy in crashed a while back. Big stinky mess that was. Link to comment
jafoca Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Ice... I blame the fact that you were trying to keep nessy and a school of 6 hippo tangs in a 20L.... Don't even try to blame their poor captivity survival rate.. Link to comment
Kogut Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 "The Nessy Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally." YES! Link to comment

MrAnderson Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 regardless of origin, those are very very cool pics thanks for posting! Link to comment
mickey85 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 this one looks kinda like a synodontis catfish from Africa... Link to comment
Diatome Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 The ocean is a beautiful, diverse environment we have barely explored. Of course sea spiders totally freak me out so if you show me one of those, then you can just drop the beauty part keep the freakin diversity away from me. Link to comment
mandrin13 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Those are old picks I wonder if nessie could live with a hippo,sohol and a naso in a ten gallon.O wait i just remembered that the tangs need 20g. sorry Link to comment
Samoyed Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 seen this already...man those fish are gruesome..and they werent found from the tsunami..it was from some dudes expidition in 2002 i think Link to comment
Haagenize Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 yeah i was wondering how fish that deep could be that affected by the tsunami, then wouldnt all the mid level fish be washed up too? Link to comment
