Pink Meanie Jellyfish are named for their colour & sting. As adults, Pink Meanies only eat other #jellyfish with a preference for moon jellies 🌕
I chose these cuties bc pink is a fave colour of mine 💖

Says "Inspector Clouseau, #9, Reef Manta Ray, Fishyfeb2025"💖 Inspector Clouseau, the worlds only pink manta ray in front of a bubbly blue background and surrounded by a violet glittery border. 💙🩷

The one & only Inspector Clouseau! #reefmantaray
A common genetic mutation in a protein that expresses melanin in fish that usually results in albinism is the cause for his unique bubblegum hue 🩷

To continue #fishyfeb when my posts aren't seen or not? That is the question.🧐

I knew #Tigerfish ate birds & can be cannibalistic, but I didn't know that they preyed on crocodiles as well!

Minorly horrifying: Oscars have teeth not only in their jaws, but set of pharyngeal teeth in their throat as well. Not scary: The Veiltail appears as giant #Betta Beautiful lil aliens 💜💙

This was a fun one😊
Unlike other #catfish, the Redtail is an active & energetic predator; rather than clinging to the bottom & waiting for prey to approach, this #fish actively seeks out its food🍌🐟🥭

Says "Purple Mystery Snail, #3, Fishyfeb2025, Bottom Feeder" 💚💜 A curious deep purple snail with a striped shell, peers up; alge, and seaweed surround her. 💛💜💚 A female can give birth to 169 young or more in a lifetime, and a single brood may have 102 young. Females can live up to five years, while males only live to about three.🖤

I went with a Purple Mystery Snail for Day 3. Bottom Feeder.💜Mystery snails are unique in that they reproduce above the water line; Chinese Mystery Snails even more so as they do not lay eggs; they give birth to live, crawling young.🐌🪸

Why is the Golden Dragonfish #lucky? Representing all 4 layers of luck thru prosperity, the name "dragonfish" stems from the Arowana's resemblance to the Chinese Dragon🐉 #fishyfeb is gonna be fun #inspo for #mermay 🧜‍♀️🪼
