Happy Pride to Megaptera novaeangliae, the Humpback Whale!! These bumpy 40-ton behemoths are among the most well known whales, and a personal favorite of mine! 🧵

I have SOOOO much more to share about these absolutely beautiful creatures, but I think I need to save the rest for a later date :) Blue whales are my absolute favorite animal on earth! I'm so happy I got to share some fun facts about them today ˶‘ ᵕ ‘˶

Today's aquatic friend is; Balaenoptera musculus, the Blue Whale! Blue whales are, as far as we know, the largest animals to have ever existed in Earth's history. Like all baleen whales, they are filter feeders rather than active hunters like the toothed whales.

I forgot to include a picture! look how silly they are :D I learned while researching this that their electroplaques are being used in various studies of neuroscience due to how well the organic tissue tranmits and stores electricity!

Today's aquatic friend is Torpedo sinuspersici, the Gulf torpedo! Members of the Torpedinidae family are known as either electric rays or torpedoes! "Torpedo" comes from the latin "torpidus", meaning Numb or Paralyzed. Per their namesake, electric rays are able to produce electricity!

Today's aquatic friend is; Aulostomus strigosus, the Atlantic Trumpetfish! These silly little noodles are incredibly voracious, opportunistic predators. They often hunt while "hiding" alongside larger herbivores like the Parrotfish. I just think they're neat :) 🧵

Today's aquatic friend is; Homarus americanus, the American Lobster! These huge crustaceans have a rich cultural history with many US states, especially my homeland of New England! Im super excited to share facts about this guy :)

Merry Fishmas eve to all! And to everyone else, have a happy holiday! All the presents opened would probably be as long as the oarfish itself. And the food eaten too.🎄 #Oarfishdaily

Slight mistake here! They are *sedentary*, not sessile! Sessile organisms, such as sponges, are entirely incapable of movement, whereas sedentary species are able to move, though they just spend the majority of their lives stationary.

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

Merry Christmas to; Spirobranchus giganteus, the Christmas tree worm! Named for their bright colorful crowns that resemble artificial trees, these polychaetes live a sessile life boared into hard corals. I'm super excited about these worms, so this will be a long thread!

Hello my lovely shoal! Would you be interested in learning about seaweeds / organic habitats? I've been playing a lot of New Horizons lately and am feeling inspired :)

Bonus fact today! The Mola mola is the THIRD largest extant species of bony fish. The title of largest belongs to Mola alexandrini, the Bumphead Sunfish! Closely related, but far larger than their famous cousins. They grow to 11', 2744kg , where as Mola molas reach 8' and weigh 2300kg.

Mola alexandrini, the Bumphead Sunfish! One big lumpy boi

Today's aquatic friend is; Hypostomus plecostomus, the Common Pleco! Also known as Suckermouth Catfish, plecos are incredibly common in the aquarium trade, often being purchased to clean the bottom & glass of the tanks. Sadly, they're rather bad at this and typically grow too big for most tanks [1/?

Thanksgiving's Aquatic Friend is; Dendrochirus zebra, the Zebra Turkey Fish! You may know these invasive beauties as Lion Fish - they are infamous for invading north american coastal waters and wreaking havoc in local ecosystems. Let's dive in and see what these prickley fish have in store for us ->

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Edit to this! I'm really bad at consistency, so it'll be occasional fish facts, not daily ones! However, I'll be doing much more indepth explorations of each aquatic friend I post about :) I hope you enjoy!

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

This was absolutely my largest deep-dive yet at 11 posts! I think they're neat :)

Today's aquatic friend is: Xestospongia muta, the Giant Barrel Sponge! Living up to their title as Giants, these simplistic creatures grow to a massive 6ft in diameter, with seemingly no upper limit for height. Follow the thread for more details -

stay tuned for a *barrel* of facts about a weird, ancient critter tomorrow! :3c

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Today's aquatic friend is: Boops boops! Unfortunately, their name is pronounced Boh-ops, not boops :( These #fish are difficult to sex, with SOME individuals being intersex, others being hermaphroditic, and some others being sequential hermaphrodites! More on that in the next post -

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

I'll post more about them later, but great news! The Vaquita, a near extinct cetacean, has been sighted with new calves!!! They got lil babies :D!!!!

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Moving forward, I think I will put more effort into the information I post to balance the time between posts. It'll be a thread of information, so please check out the entire threads when you see them! I have a lot of fun researching this stuff, and I want to make sure you all enjoy it too :)

Today's [not so] fishy fact was requested by my good friend @nefnoj.bsky.social ! I hope you enjoy reading about these shell #fish as much as I did learning about them!

Today's aquatic friend is; Mercenaria mercenaria, the Hard Clam! Also known as a Quehog [co-hog], these bivalve mollusks grow up to 5" in length. Adults lose their ability to move, adopting what is known as a sessile lifestyle! [1/?]

Hello all! I am running a tad low on inspiration - What fish do YOU want to see posted about next? I'll do an extra in-depth explanation for viewer requested creatures :)

Fish(ing) fun fact! If you're ever out at sea doing some catching, try and cast out near shrimp boats! Even in docks & marinas, giant fish congregate around shrimp bates due to the sheer amount of shrimp / bycatch that typically show up there. They might as well try for a free meal, yknow?

Today's aquatic friend is; Aracheirodon innesi, the Neon Tetra! Growing to a maximum length of 4cm, these #fish are extremely popular and easy to keep aquarium fish. Their characteristic blue stripe is able to change color depending on light saturation. [1/2]

New name, because I am bad at being consistent with things!

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

the reason this is the final and only mating season is because they stop feeding during this time. Their dramatic transformations prior, their limited energy is reserved exclusively for mating. After the season ends, they will run out of energy as their bodies slowly wither away. good parents, huh?

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Today's aquatic friend is: Oncorhynchus nerka, the Sockeye salmon! Their iconic red & green colors are only developed by males during the one single mating season at the end of their lives. Females, on the other hand, develop overies that are 25% of their bodies. ....woah..

Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, several 100+ft tsunami waves hit the Japanese coast, dragging a shipping vessel back out to see and sinking it. Discovered off the west coast of the US, the ship was housing 5 young barred knifejaws. 4 of which were euthanized to prevent invasive species [1/2]

Fish Facts Occasionally @dailyfishfacts.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Today's aquatic friend is: Oplegnathus fasciatus, the Barred Knifejaw! These reef #fish have fused teeth on their upper and lower jaw, resulting in a razor sharp, serrated beak. This beak allows them to crush mollusks and crustaceans - their favorite food source!

they should make a fish that hugs you and makes you feel warm and special :)
