About that video of a dragonfish lighting up their whole body blue, what do you make of this? I thought that the photophores were only the white dots on their underside and under their eye? Does this mean plenty of other species may be capable of doing the same thing without researchers being able to tell outwardly? It appears to be Aristostomias Scintillans
Good point and something I have been thinking about too. It seems the ‘whole body light' is in segments all along the body - vertical blue bands stretching from dorsal right down the side of the body. If you look at the dragon fish we filmed in daylight there are red patches in segments all along the dorsal surface. I think they might correspond to the blue bands of the bioluminescence. It is as if the light is made internally and shines out through the skin almost like a bulb in a lampshade- maybe a layer beneath the skin is like a light guide taking the light from those red dorsal patches that seem to be slightly more luminous than the rest. Just a theory but something never described as far as I know. I have asked one of the deep sea fish experts I know and will report back if I hear any more. Intriguing!
Another thing I noticed were layers of raised transparent cells on the skin’s surface in patches - also there are small blue spots on the face which may also correspond to those raised types of cells - I will show pics of all this in the community tab
I would say the Piranha because it’s a more active predator and hunts / scavenges in packs ( schools of hundreds), whereas the angler fish is a solitary sit and wait predator ( like a spider waiting in its web). Piranhas are freshwater from Brazil but anglers of various species are found in saltwater oceans worldwide at various depths ( depending on species) so the two would never meet!
Thank you for making this vid 🫶🏻 I was looking at animals on different depths in the ocean and saw these two guys and wanted to know how different they are or cool facts since they look similar. Im excited to watch this video 🥳🫶🏻
Do Dragonfish vs Snaggletooth, snaggletooth is a "unknown" fish on RUclips. I saw just one video of that deep sea fish. And also, there is only my comment on that video.
Thanks - it’s on my todo list - at the moment I’m doing a longer video on how octopus dream - I did a short on it last week. Snaggle soon - watch this space!
It is possible perhaps to keep them in specially chilled and dark tanks - but it would be a very specialist and expensive job - and you'd have to be careful how you caught them as they get hurt easily - the Monterey Bay aquarium does keep some deep sea animals. This is their exhibit: ruclips.net/video/DCxzKSKaWZc/видео.html - but it doesn't have fangtooth or dragonfish - they are probably a bit more difficult - although as I mentioned in the piece some scientists kept fangtooth in a tank for a few months in the 1970s. Here is a good vid by the Monterey aquarium team but not always of their own tank kept specimens: ruclips.net/video/DCxzKSKaWZc/видео.html. It's an often asked question so maybe we should do a vid on it?
The dragonfish is dead. They are both in a small tank where they can film them. This is a small part of a longer video where the video mskers themselves show how they take these close up shots. Be the fish dead or alive!
Thanks SwordOofS for pointing this out - it's tricky to film deep sea creatures because they live in a dark cold world at pressures that are very difficult to get to safely.The alternative is to catch things at depth and bring them up which isn't good either but what is down there is fascinating and important to study to understand the world and how to protect it.
@IndoonaOceans I completely agree with you. The creatures of the deep see fascinated me from an early age. It excited me that these movies like creatures actually existed.

Wowww video 10/10 wonderful way to finish the video 😊
Amazing footage, thank you!
It’s a pleasure
Seriously impressive detailed footage.
Thanks!
Can you make more vids like this?
Yes I can but this one took about 4 weeks!
@@IndoonaOceans amazing dedication, thank you!
Wow
Oh what a nice channel!! Amazing!
Thank you - still finding my way but I’ll get there!
You will

Of course why they are doing it is another question
Another thing I noticed were layers of raised transparent cells on the skin’s surface in patches - also there are small blue spots on the face which may also correspond to those raised types of cells - I will show pics of all this in the community tab
@@IndoonaOceans interesting! I'd love to see them
You should do fang tooth vs angler fish they look even more similar 😮
Good idea - yes they do
Excellent video on both! The music is perfect for the video. who's the composer?
Thank you - I think the music tracks are from the RUclips audio library but will check and report back
@@IndoonaOceans Appreciate you! Thanks.
4:11 finally, a living dragonfish and other 2 fish!
Piranha’s vs angler fish who’s stronger pls tell me

@@IndoonaOceans Thank you. That question has been on my mind lately for some reason lol

Good idea will research thanks!
@@IndoonaOceansBy the way, the video was published 7 years ago by clgildner, it has 2.3k views and the video is called *Snaggle tooth fish*
Thanks - it’s on my todo list - at the moment I’m doing a longer video on how octopus dream - I did a short on it last week. Snaggle soon - watch this space!
@@IndoonaOceansAnd also, the machine with which you got the dragonfish can get a Snaggletooth too? Just asking... I'm curious...
WOWWW you filmed deep sea fish in real lifeeeee?!😸😸
Yes - to see how there are a couple of videos here on the Indoona channel about how it was done - especially for the dragonfish
What a cool predators. Do anyone have one of this fish as a pet in home aquarium? Is it even possible to keep this kind of fish in home tank?

@@IndoonaOceans thanks a lot for detailed answer. Yeah, would be really cool to have fish like this but...seems its very hard to even find one to buy
@@fboest Yes I don't think you would - it's only research trawlers and deep sea fishermen who find them
@@IndoonaOceans so seems I have to place order to you guys :)
@@fboest Ha! If only - not sure when I'll be back at sea again in these funny times.

wonderful planet we live on!
@IndoonaOceans absolutely. Right now, I'm actually watching "Marianna's trench" of the awesome David Attenborough.
Great stuff- must catch up with that one myself
Both species are quite small…
Yes that’s true and there is often no sense of scale in the deep when there is nothing near by to compare tp
Cool
👍
Hi
Hi
Top notch
Thanks - took about a week to put together- maybe a bit dense but it is the most up to date of what we know about them in 2022
