Sharks are one of my fave animals, I even have a squishmallow shark named Davie 🩵
This lil guy is called a Pyjama Shark; when threatened, it'll curl into a circle with its tail covering its head 🖤🤍🥰

Pink Meanie Jellyfish are named for their colour & sting. As adults, Pink Meanies only eat other #jellyfish with a preference for moon jellies 🌕
I chose these cuties bc pink is a fave colour of mine 💖

I knew #Tigerfish ate birds & can be cannibalistic, but I didn't know that they preyed on crocodiles as well!

This was a fun one😊
Unlike other #catfish, the Redtail is an active & energetic predator; rather than clinging to the bottom & waiting for prey to approach, this #fish actively seeks out its food🍌🐟🥭

I went with a Purple Mystery Snail for Day 3. Bottom Feeder.💜Mystery snails are unique in that they reproduce above the water line; Chinese Mystery Snails even more so as they do not lay eggs; they give birth to live, crawling young.🐌🪸

Why is the Golden Dragonfish #lucky? Representing all 4 layers of luck thru prosperity, the name "dragonfish" stems from the Arowana's resemblance to the Chinese Dragon🐉 #fishyfeb is gonna be fun #inspo for #mermay 🧜‍♀️🪼
