Pretty cool looking little guy.

I think he is very sweet and cute looking.

Awesome 👍😎

That's about 1000m deep, right? Cool. 100x atmospheric pressure, I'm amazed neither the fish or the camera got squished!

[msc545]

quite a bit more. 8836m to be precise...

[goaded]

Oops! Off by 10!

[msc545]

no worries - it happens. I do that occasionally too.

Amazing creature! that's a lot of pressure, not to mention very dark. Frankly, looks like a frog. Some of the stuff down that deep are downright frightening looking... glad I'm a human.

That thing is fugly! Good thing it is so dark at that depth, so neither sex can see each other come spawning season.

Nice. Bet he avoids all sorts of predators that deep.

Simples...

[Guardian45]

Just shows how far animals will go to avoid the Apex predator, Humans!

Coat him in breadcrumbs and fry that suckered up

[goaded]

I have a feeling it would be like biting a rock!

[msc545]

@goaded Please don't encourage this - he is a very cute, special fish!

[slatyb]

Are they good to eat?

Good looking lad
