how about a pacific spiny lumpsucker :)

Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate

the PACIFIC SPINY LUMPSUCKER:

5/10 Chunk

10/10 Funk

9/10 Gunk

Once again we come across a creature I had never heard of before today. Apparently they’re very bony, but since they have such a square shape to them I give them a little chunk. They have a very very funky look and a strange gimmick, high funk. These fish are also very slimy (as found in my brief googling of them), high gunk.

Overall: 9/10

Its eyes are so full of hope. Its mouth is always agape in a state of wonder. Its tummy goes suck suck.

It is beautiful.

My parents went on a behind the scenes tour of the aquarium yesterday and my mom took this one singular picture of the spiny lumpsuckers and I’m really obsessed with it

Hello Everyone and welcome to my TED talk

This is my favourite fish, it is called a Lumpsucker or a Cyclopteridae.

They are found in the cold waters of the Arctic, North Atlantic, and North Pacific oceans.

The Lumpsucker is a chubby, almost-spherical fish with modified pelvic fins that have evolved into adhesive discs on their undersides. So literally lumps with suckers. It has a natural suction cup, isn't that cool.

And look at it's cute little face, It is adorable.

[Heatwaves starts playing] Some times all I think about is you~

Known in Europe as sea hen or hen fish because the male guards and cares for the eggs, without eating, until they hatch in about six or seven weeks.

Their suction cups evolved from their pelvic fin and allow the fish to anchor itself to its surroundings. It can frequently be found clinging onto eel grass, rocks, or any other objects in its habitat.

Males grow to 20 inches (50 cm) and females grow even bigger — up to 24 inches (61 cm) The largest lumpfish can weigh up to 21lb (9.5 kg) but are typically much smaller.

Lumpfish are generally found in shallower marine waters throughout the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans up to a depth of nearly 3,000 feet.

They are basically a cute pingpong ball with fins.

Thank you for listening to my TED Talk

I would like to take a second to inform everyone a bit about probably my favorite non-shark fish.

Lumpsuckers

These little guys are round, ball-shaped fish found around the northwest Pacific ocean. They've got frilled suckers on their bellies they use to grip onto things, while their tiny fins aren't very effective for normal swimming.

Also, they're just plain adorable. Look at those little faces.

The only unfortunate part, imo, is their name. It's fitting, they are lump-shaped fish with suckers after all, but I think we could do better.

Despite my love for these little guys, I struggle to remember their English name at times, because in Japanese they are called ダンゴウオ or "dango fish", which is a far cuter name, and therefore has dominance in my brain. For anyone reading who may not know what dango looks like, below is an example of a dango fish sitting atop a tricolor dango (三色団子 [さんしょくだんご])

I love them so much.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Often hailed as beautiful and powerful, lumpsucker fish have many talents; one important skill they lack, though, is swimming. Lumpsucker bodies are almost perfectly round, which isn't very hydrodynamic. On top of that, they lack a swim bladder-- an organ that other fish use to control their bouyancy. As a result, lumpsuckers spend most of their lives suctioned onto rocks or coral.
