Freak of the Week: Ocean Sunfish!
Added 2025-02-17 18:34:17 +0000 UTCHappy Monday!! I'm in my Garfeels.
this week's freak was suggested by Grumbbyy, and Melissa Swanson!! Thanks guys! I've always dreamed about floating listlessly with one of these gentle giants. I had nooo idea what their lil baby frys looked like, and was absolutely delighted to learn they're little gummy suns. I mean look at them!! I always learn something new when I do these, and it is so delightful. Thank you everyone for all your wonderful suggestions!

Oh I love these guys, I remember there was a mobile game I played like crazy for a while that was just how long could you keep a sunfish alive after they hatched and see how big it would get and try to unlock all the ways they could die. Simpler times man. Simpler times.

2025-02-17 19:07:17 +0000 UTCI straight up saw the thumbnail in my notifs & hissed "yesssss sunfiiiiish" I love your humor so much! Also, if you want serotonin fast, watch baby sunfish yeeting themselves out of the water. Delightful. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjhIT1GI7-A/?igsh=NGo3eTQzZ3dicWd3
