There should be something on the page about how endangered it is. 128.84.114.152 ( talk) 14:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Q:How does it mate? 09:26, 25 November 2006 (UTC) A: poo in cup A:With its eyes closed, I hope. 21:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Blob fish were first described in 1978, very recently in terms of fish identification. The first blob fishes in reproduction were discovered in 2000 on the Gorda Escarpment off the California coast. The fish were in an area where other species of fish and octopus were also breeding. These fishes were watched at several different locations and levels by a remotely operated vehicle, and have been studied every year since they were found.
It lacks a swim bladder, a gas-filled internal organ that helps most bony fish to govern their capacity to stay afloat in water. It also has fragile bones and little muscles. Blobfish are rarely seen alive since they are only found in a few places of the world and at depths of 2,000 to 4,000 feet below the surface of the sea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alaaameria00 ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

A photo of the fish in the wild, if/when one exists, will probably serve this article better than the one that's there. The fish's gelatinous mass is probably shaped significantly differently when it's supported by water than when it's sitting on a dry surface. — Ipoellet ( talk) 00:30, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

The picture currently on the article doesn't really say as much as a photograph would. The pictures here are great, but they appear to be copyrighted. I wonder if someone could upload one of the pictures to the article as fair use though?

There is a picture I removed and put here that is supposed to be by Alan Riverstone McCulloch but he died in 1925. The article says blobfish was discovered in 2003. Something is incorrect here, does anyone know more? Thank you, MarioNovi ( talk) 06:35, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Is this drawing in the article an accurate drawing of the fish or is it some how mislabeled and for another fish? Thank you, MarioNovi ( talk) 06:15, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

From the article: "This is not consistent with reality for two reasons: the blobfish lives deep in the sea where few of the other creatures can go because of the intense pressure, and in this high-pressure habitat he's not so ugly." I think there's a lot more than those two reasons, starting with: "Sharks can't talk or read."--

Episode 6, Season 1 of the Disney Junior series, The Octonauts featured the blobfish. The Octonauts had to rescue three blobfish from an area surrounding an underwater volcano that was about to erupt. The blobfish were depicted in their decompressed state, as usually seen on internet pics of this fish. The "creature report" song at the end of the segment is also about the blobfish.

This article is way too short and is missing important information on the species' ecology, behavior, habitat, diet, and more. These are extremely important pieces of information that need to be added to the article.-- Paleface Jack ( talk) 19:29, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Every year people will vote for the WORLD UGLIEST ANIMAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY but in 2013 our winner is a whole different, a jelly little pink creature call “Blobfish” had been voted for the world’s ugliest animal and become known since then. Thus this makes the Blob become the group's official mascot with its blancmange look and miserable face.
Blobfish have been called as the deep sea blancmange but they definitely don’t taste like it, actually there is a reason behind. Blobfish lives at depths of 500-1,200 meters in the ocean, which produce the pressure many time greater than a sea level. Even the normal fishes can’t survive in the area, their swim bladder that allows most fish to float and swim would collapse under this extreme pressure. Instead Blobfish use a fatty substance to fill its body and it become full of gelatinous flesh without any skeleton or real muscles.
The casue of no real organs that allows them to swim, they just hover above the ocean floor waiting for food to come to them. They mostly eat gormless sea urchins, molluscs and crustaceans that are too dumb and slow to escape. But all those information is just an assumer of an academician. Because Blobfish lives too deep in the ocean, even human can’t go to explore the area. So we barely know about its biology and ecology. All of the information has to be inferred by learning about its relatives since we are not able to go that deep down the ocean to explore or document them. We only see them, if we are lucky enough, when fisherman catch it by mistake. But after this summer everything is going to be changed. Blobfish wouldn’t be a rare thing anymore but it will have their first pop-up café in London. The Blobfish café, open this summer with the slogan of ‘the world first face to face blob fish experience’. Like other animal’s café, Blobfish will be transferred from Australian ocean into the tank. Definitely the tank need to contain pressure as same as in the depths of 500-1,200 deep, so we won’t be able to play with it but they guarantee that you will see them the whole time you visit the café. Now the world will know these little pink creatures as Barry, Lorcan and Lady swift. ( blobfishcafe.com, 2016 ) In conclusion Blobfish continue to play more role in people since they have been declaring as the world ugliest animal in 2013 and no one can stop this anymore. It is the time for you to get in touch with the world, knowing this wonderful creature and be prepared for them.

The psychrolutes marcidus was first discovered around the Norfolk and Lord Howe islands, which are found in-between Australia and New Zealand. This discovery was made by a team of two dozen scientist. During this exploration of submarine habitats, the team towed gear on the ocean floor in order to net and study different species. Among the all the new species the caught was the psychrolutes marcidus. [1] Fmass3 ( talk) 22:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
