The world is so big that in places you don't see it, there's always a unique creature, like a deep-sea fish.
Translucent blue-bellied fish
Humans have known it for so short a time that it has not yet had a widely accepted name, except for the abdomen and head, which are almost completely transparent. It lives in the waters of the Negros, the largest tributary of the Amazon, is only 17 mm long and is only active at night.
Crocodile ice fish
Crocodile icefish (commonly known as : Antarctic silverfish, Antarctic shrimp fish, Antarctic icefish)
A fish that grows in cold regions such as Antarctica and South America. Crocodile icefish feed on krill, copepods, and other fish. It is also known as white blood fish because of the lack of red blood cells and heme in the body. The blood of crocodile icefish is transparent because the blood is free of hemoglobin or biologically active red blood cells. Its metabolism simply relies on oxygen dissolved in body fluids, which scientists believe is obtained directly from bodies of water that flow through the skin. The sea where the crocodile icefish lives is icy, and in general, the lower the temperature, the greater the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, which also provides the possibility for it to evolve such a special metabolic method.
Scorpionfish aka lionfish
Also known as turkey fish or firefish, there are about 9 species that live in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are bright in color, only the size of a palm. The beautiful fin spines are brightly colored, but they are the best attack weapons. The dorsal spines are venomous, the pectoral fin is pinnate, the dorsal, and caudal fins are transparent, distributed in the Indian and Pacific coral reefs, carnivorous. Fin spines are a poisonous organ of the scorpionfish and contain venom glands.
When they encounter predators, they will open the fin spines in various parts to scare each other, and they will also stab each other sideways with the fin spines on their backs, and the toxins released by the poisonous glands in the fin spines will poison the other party. If a person is accidentally stabbed by them, they will feel severe pain, and in severe cases, they will have difficulty breathing or even faint.
Nocturnal, saltwater fish, at night in the dark water slowly undulating back and hip fins.
When in danger, the scorpion will try to open its long fins as much as possible to make itself appear large, while warning the other party with bright colors. However, restaurants in Mexico have long listed lionfish as a "must-eat souvenir"!
Water drop fish
Also known as the sad fish or the soft hidden thorn dubu fish, the bobo fish, because of the weeping face, known as "the world's most sad expression" fish. The world's ugliest fish rankings, the water drop fish "topped the list", there is no ugliest only uglier. As a result of deep-sea fishing operations, dripfish are threatened with extinction.
In order to protect endangered ugly animals, British animal protection activists have come up with a solution: launching an "ugly" contest of "no ugliest, only uglier". The results of this game were released, and the strange fish that lives in the depths of the ocean, the water dropfish, "topped" the list.

Its terrible appearance gives it such a terrifying English name as "Ogre Fish". Despite their ferocious appearance, they are actually of little or no harm to humans. It gets its name from its large teeth, and its teeth may be the largest of the marine fish relative to its size, so some fish that are larger than them also become their meals.
Arapaima

Despite its terrifying appearance, this fish is not large, no more than 15 centimeters long, and poses no real threat to humans. The sea where the mothfish is located is pitch black and blind with eyes, so other ways must be used to find prey in order to survive.
Sea goby

Inimicus japonicus (Cuvier et Valenciennes, 1829), commonly known as sea scorpion, tiger fish. It is found in the tropical and warm temperate zones of the western North Pacific Ocean, and is produced in the South China Sea, East China Sea, Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. It is a warm and temperate demersal fish species. Body color varies with depth in the shallow waters near the shore and is dark brown; Deep waters in the open sea are red or yellow. Body length up to 200 mm. Ghost scorpions lay their eggs in early summer. Egg floating.
During the courtship period, pectoral fins are developed to show marital colors, or their warning colors to frighten predators.

Representative species are the white-bellied stingray and the brown-bellied stingray. Among them, the adult white-bellied stingray is smaller than the average stingray. The stingray lives in deep-sea coral reefs as a hedgehog-like fish.
Most of them are brightly colored, and after being hit, their bodies will bulge into a ball, causing their volume to become larger, and from countless fine holes, they will extend stingers to the surroundings, and once a trace amount of venom is pierced into the human body, it will lead to death.
Goblin shark
The most notable features are a long, flat nose, protruding nail-like teeth, and pink skin. The leprechaun shark remains a scientific mystery to this day, and the species is so rare that they are the last creatures to retain the ancestry of ancient sharks, with some primitive features, so they are called "living fossils" by scientists.
They live below 100 meters below the seafloor, with poor calcifications in their bones and lax muscles, and scientists speculate that the shark may be inactive and slow to move.
Atlantic wolf eel
The terrible canine teeth in its mouth, and the tougher molars in the back, are not used against humans, or even against small fish in general, but only for sea urchins, starfish, shrimp, large crayfish, mollusks, and gastropods.
Atlantic wolf eels are really ugly in appearance, and some people say that they are so ugly that their mothers hate them.

The shark has more than 25 rows with 300 teeth and was caught by fishermen while trawling in the waters of Lex Entrense in the Gippsland region. It is up to two meters long, with a head and body that resembles an eel, but has a tail that resembles other sharks.
Vipers

Vipers are one of the fierce predators in the depths of the ocean. Like the black giant mouth fish, they have large mouths and long fangs, their teeth are so long that they cannot fit in the mouth, and the lower teeth are bent backwards to touch the eyes, and scientists believe that their hunting method is to swim quickly to the prey and then nail the prey to their own teeth.
Asian sheephead seren

It is mainly active between reefs and rock crevices, dominated by mollusks and crustaceans. It is one of the twenty weirdest species of fish.
After seeing these fish, it is really not easy. It turns out that the animal kingdom also has to look at the face, after all, the seabed is so deep, the deep-sea fish will be perfunctory and grow casually.
The good-looking skin bags are the same, and the ugly fish in the deep sea are strange. The ugly fish is helpless, the deep sea cannot be seen, it is already very difficult to live, and it is still necessary to be chosen as the ugliest.
With the environment and evolution, as well as marine fishing operations, some fish are on the verge of extinction, and protecting endangered animals can make them last longer!
