Now THESE are the kind of fish I want, dont understand why we cannot keep them?

[sg1]

With all of todays technology and all the specilized breeding and conditioning they can do, why is it that deep sea fish cannot be kept alive in salt water aquariums? I mean, through generations they bread puffers that do not require salt, is it not possible through generations to breed an angler fish that can survive in far less pressure than what would be natural to them? Id kill to see a gulper eel in a giant salt water aquaruim!!!

Would be cool if they could catch them in a presurized capsules or something and keep them in aquariums would be difficult and very expensive though

I don't think it would be possible to breed them so that they can handle the absence of pressure in aquariums they evolved to handle litterally tons of pressure so i don't think they could ever survive at surface pressure

Also i didn't know they breed salt water puffers to live in freshwater

Yeah I imagine it would be expensive but can you imagine how much money could be made if they came out with an anglerfish that could be kept in an aquarium? Wow, everyone with a saltwater setup would want one!

i know i would!

They probably would not look like that over time if they were no longer pressurized . Like adapt a new look in aquariums.

they would be awesome the only problem would be the pressure

not necessarily, look at the majority of nocturnal animals that have not adapted over time. thats just what comes to mind first, a change like that would have to happen over a very long period of time.

well obviously

Can anyone here explain to me how it is that these types of fish can live in water so deep that the pressure is such that most submarines cannot even dive that far without imploding?

they just adapted to it like many other different animals you have to deal with what you are dealt!

How do they even get pics of anglers if its dangerous to be that deep?
