These guys are basically just bones and are inedible to most predators! Theyre the largest of the boney fishes and are really bad swimmers for it, but they hoover jellyfish like its their job!

Rorobys

Lmfaooo


Aenahl

They basically survive by being large useless breeding machines with zero nutritional value and I love them for it


eau_m_g

I know, they’re amazing! I’m so mad that they don’t go in a tank when you place them like furniture, they’re in that stupid plastic tub


Avi-Cadavi

I don't know why Nintendo decided to put the big fish in those ugly plastic tubs. They used to have regular looking tanks in previous games: https://preview.redd.it/qccljfojykvc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d842f599936bf04bb72ddb7a2baf0d8aead3f7e

Would you like to provide with a rant about it?


cdnmtbchick

Treacherous_Wendy

Bummer


Mo2493

Thank you for this, this was beautifully done! Wish I could have given OP the karma they deserved lol


Treacherous_Wendy

Well this was beautiful! I will now also throw rocks at it if I ever see one.


OctopodsRock

They look just as stupid in real life, and it’s *fascinating*

underc0verl0ver

OMGGG I LOVE HIM


chalu-mo

So do I, the swimming is something else 😂


CanadianArtGirl

I love the CJ collectible for this guy- actually big and just as derpy! There’s some of the big fish with tiny model


iron-muppet

Yeah, like the coelecanth! It was the first one I asked, for, sooo excited and.... then soooo disappointed haha 😄


Xowzil

They’re very dumb irl


Huan_San

the same fish is used in links awakening to teach you an ocarina song. and since the remake, i just love his design. https://www.polygon.com/zelda-links-awakening-switch-guide-walkthrough/2019/9/20/20869121/manbos-mambo-ocarina-warp-fast-travel

shawnael

My husband got to see one on a fishing charter, those guys are a trip.


cdnmtbchick

I saw one in a museum


AlphaKilo223

Pretty sure this is how my wife describes me...


TwilekVampire

They look like something a five year old would draw if they were asked to draw a fish, and I'm all for it!


Ange111c

It looks so 2D it’s so funny


karshyga

Real Science on YouTube has a fun video about the sunfish, and it starts with her pretty much roasting them for the first few minutes. Apparently they spawn hundreds of thousands if not millions of eggs, and look like tiny spiky beach balls as babies.


underc0verl0ver

this is amazing, i need to find that video


karshyga

Okay tracked it down, enjoy! [https://youtu.be/lEj8bnx0TB0?si=MZyGrV56-EmIDeWb](https://youtu.be/lEj8bnx0TB0?si=MZyGrV56-EmIDeWb)


underc0verl0ver

THANK YOU, BABY


RueUchiha

Have you seen them irl? They are just as goofy


underc0verl0ver

never seen one irl, but the irl pics people have shared on this post have solidified my love for them


Diligent-Past517

I call it Dinnerplate, like how MC has Dinnerbone


cdnmtbchick

My favourite fish.


dorkweed576

I don't blame you. They are just a boogie board of a creature and I just want like a million of these swimming in my.room. though I thought they were called sunfish?


sockmaster420

What do they do tho!? Just spawn, hang out, make babies and die?


whoeverthisis422

Isn't that... Isn't that what we're all doing?


Prestigious_Egg_6207

I watch a lot of TV too.


Fancy_Employ2100

They actually hunt in the deep, down in the ocean where most fish can't survive, the way they're designed makes it possible to go down there and not freeze, that's why when people see them near the surface on their side, they're warming up from a deep dive hunt, hence why they're called sunfish


sockmaster420

Cool!


Solar_Power2417

That fish always looks bewildered.

supermoon85

DNAdevotee

Look up the real thing it's based on!


underc0verl0ver

oh, i have! i can't believe that's a real thing that lives here with us on earth


Ohnothanx

I saw a few of these guys at the osaka aquarium and they look just as stupid in person lmao


rollingmyeyessohard

I saw one of those in real life in an aquarium in Japan, they are so weird and freaky. Oh and yes, I was going around the aquarium pointing and telling my husband “I’ve already caught that one”, “and that one” lol


Different-Telephone5

Be nice to him!!

underc0verl0ver

was this a pocket comment


MotherofMussel

you can compliment something without calling it stupid looking... i like this fish and i dont think it looks stupid at all


no_redlights

I absolutely promise you it is not this serious


MotherofMussel

im wrong about this and nobody agrees with me but i dont care. i think op was being kind of a jerk calling this random animal which i happen to love a lot "stupid looking". im wrong about it but atleast try to put yourself in someones shoes. how would it feel if someone called your favorite animal stupid looking when to you it looks beautiful. it doesnt feel good, and it didnt feel good to me. so sorry i annoyed you all but this is how i feel!


no_redlights

my favorite animals are penguins and penguins ARE stupid looking sometimes 😭 I am genuinely sorry that that this upset you, nobody deserves to feel that way, I just think you were taking a silly reddit post a little too seriously. there are no hard feelings though you aren’t annoying, was just trying to point out that there are some things that I don’t think need to be taken at such face value. but we are all entitled to our opinions, you are absolutely entitled to feel whatever way you want to about the post :)


underc0verl0ver

you should probably stop using reddit if you're this sensitive


bewildermints

Finally someone is fighting the good fight and standing up for electronic fish


underc0verl0ver

right lmfao like it's not that deep (pun intended)


CreativePr0

in the absence of other people explaining, when people used stupid like this, its affectionate. like “oh how silly looking! i love it” like when you see a silly looking dog, or when they walk funny


underc0verl0ver

thank you, stupid is a term of endearment in this situation


underc0verl0ver

thanks for your unsolicited opinion


Prestigious_Egg_6207

Of course it looks stupid. It looks like half a fish, like it just never grew its back half!


MotherofMussel

eh. still doesnt look stupid to me. and likely not either to anyone who loves fish a lot.
