1 Deep sea fish Brodie Eric

2 Anglerfish (Linophryne arborifera) Their Latin name means "toad that fishes with a net," which refers to the bulb on top of their head It also has filaments below that lure prey. Despite its ferocious jaws, this fish is only the size of a baby's fist Eats other fish Snails Worms Crustations And copepods

3 Ogrefish (Anoplogaster cornuta)Ogrefish (Anoplogaster cornuta): The juveniles differ so much from the adults of this species that it took over 50 years for biologists to realize that they were the same species. Also known as the "fang tooth," these animals are found in tropical and temperate waters up to 16,000 feet. Eats crustations And adults eat fish

4 Giant Amphipod They have been found at depths of 500 m. It has a completely transparent body, with the exception of its stomach and its compound eyes. The eyes occupy the entire top of its head, and the retinas can be seen as a thin layer of red in the otherwise clear head.

5 Blobfish Blobfish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. This is ugly and looks like squidward

6 Giant grenadier Grenadiers or rattails are generally large, brown to black gadiform marine fish of the family Macrouridae. This species is usually found living just above the bottom of the ocean. Its length is up to 2.1 m. They swim slowly over the sea bed searching for live prey, as well as carcasses to eat. Having really high levels of the smelly compound TMAO must make the fish not only ugly but really stinky too
