lol yes I love that lobster catching guy. He always gives em a snack when he lets em go, and he informs people about rare ones. And has featured birds he's had to rescue. Dude is super cool

"Fish biologist reacts to fish tik toks" What they expect: some profound little speech about the species of fish mentioned in the video What they get: guys just because it's white with black spots does not make it a cow it's literally a fish

The equivalent of sending the lobster back with the fish is being ubducted by aliens and then dropping you off with a Pringles can on the street

I mean, you can’t really here whales above water, but underwater you very much can! Their calls travel through the water for long distances, and the deeper you go in the water, the louder the calls are! I was in Hawaii early this year and while swimming at a beach, I could hear whale calls very clearly. It was very cool and sounded just absolutely beautiful! You can hear them within a few miles even, and hearing them in person is like nothing else. It’s definitely a very alien like sound to just hear out of nowhere.😅

The catfish could also have vitiligo- without seeing it from a hatchling, or studying it over years, it can be really hard to tell the difference!

Sea spiders come into saltwater aquariums occasionally as hitchhikers on corals and rock. But I doubt most regular enthusiasts would WANT to keep them. I think a lot of the shallow water ones have a nasty habit of being obligate coral eaters. Which, if you're trying to keep a reef tank, isn't the best guest to have. And even if not, most people aren't going to want or can afford to keep buying/fragging new coral for them to munch on.

2:54 the one guy who just says “No” encapsulates the sea spider very well

What an intro, defiantly gets me in the fish mood…

The lobster snack is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m super curious whether they will eat it or not… might have a bit too much ptsd from the man-handling lol

Whale calls are in a frequency that only travel underwater. I’ve dived with whale s and yea you can very much hear them underwater, especially humpback whales which are the loudest

The damn eel basement guy always is there, is he part of avnj lore or somthin?! XD

I highly recommend you check out Jacob Geller's most recent video "Fear of big things underwater". It was a beautifully written video essay regarding the juxtaposition of myths and realities of the deep sea, something you as a fish biologist will love.

Catfish at 5:15 is a recessive mutation called piebald (pied) its extremely popular in the reptile trade, but fish can also be born with it. The gene affects the pigmentation of the skin and is never mirrored, it's possible to get 90% of one color and a little spot of the other or 50/50, ect. Piebald fish are actually extremely rare both in the wild and captivity. Catfish, carp, and even several species of Gar have been recorded with the mutation.

Zack is self aware with his video titles now 😮😮😮😮😮 (wow)(pretty epic)

"Hey man, I'm looking at your resume... And I'm wondering what exactly 'fish masseuse' means." In regards to the Whale sound question, we have to remember that sound is a series of waves that hit your body and you only hear it because your ears are able to interpret those waves. Sounds that are as loud as what whales make have waves so large and impactful that you can't interpret it without machinery, this is also why people who free dive with humpback whales literally get heated up by the sound waves impacting them and creating friction. (this is a very simplified explanation, everything I said is so basic that you still should look it up yourself to get an actual understanding)

I’m still confused how these aren’t called “FishToks”

2:12 eel pit guy strikes again. fish is probably in the bowl temporarily

I think the noise with the whale is an elk calling, pretty cool noise! I am not certain but it sounds a lot like it

My Dood sound travels 5 times farther under water, water is a better conductor of sound than air. Meaning sounds are actually louder underwater, literally the opposite of what you said!

Some of those whale sounds sound more like Elk calls 🤣

As an arachnophobe who likes spiders (don't think about it) that sea spider was spookily cool

While that clip definitely has the sound added after the fact, you can hear whales 'singing' with just your ears. Echolocation sounds are at frequencies we can't detect, but at least some communication is audible to humans.

arapaima often live in mud puddles not much bigger than themselves during dry spells. The reason the arapaima(s) was in that little canal area is probably because the wild ones are endangered so they are being farmed to try to save them. The way it jumped over the net is very normal for them and there is lots of videos of them doing this in farms. Im pretty sure they do it in the wild also but iv not seen any videos of that

Fairy wrasse was for demonstration purposes. I'm sure it has a really nice home elsewhere.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought we can hear some whale sounds. I know we need special equipment to hear the lowest frequencies of their songs, but I swear we can hear some sounds. Not to the extent of that video, but still some sounds. When in the water with them or when they're sticking out of the water next to you.

Piebald fish probably benefit from it in the exact same way cats do; Via blending better in partially shaded environment. In their case they blend in the shadows of trees & freshwater plants.

When the carquarium gets pulled over: Police: can you please open the trunk? Man: ummm, OK... Police: this is very fishy

I love all the snake people in the chat screaming about being piebald.

7:00 I actually have a theory about these videos. I’m gonna suspend my disbelief and say they are real, but I don’t think that the whole process is shown. I think this is a fish trap in which during wet season, the trappers build a catfish nest, somewhere that will be completely underwater during dry season. Eventually, the water goes back down during dry season and the fish are cut off from the river, still in the nest trap.

Oh wow! I love (Buzzword) videos!

Avnj going deep into the description of the multicolored catfish while chat is just “MOOO. COWFISH ITS A COW” is just the perfect description of twitch chat

The beginning of this video goes hard.

Sea spiders are usually deep sea, but there are some in the antarctic ocean that aren't as deep

The way he just casually shoved a fish into her claw as 'a little snack' had me spitting out my iced tea. Epic.

does AVNJ seriously not know who Coyote Peterson is?

i absolutely LOVE buzzword fish tiktoks!

The last Tiktok of the sleepy Seal/Sea lion was really cute and it didn't help that Zak was doing a voice I'd normally do when talking to a cute animal like a dog, but it made me remember a weird continuous thought I had when I was younger where I legitmately thought Seals and Sea lions didn't have fur as they look so smooth and that if you pet them it would just feel like skin which now looking back is pretty funny. And I'm now imaging rubbing a Seal/Sea lion up and down when petting it and basically messing up it's coat and putting it back to normal with each stroke.

Sea spiders? How am I gonna flamethrower THAT?

wow that title is so (expletive)

1:03 that's elk mating calls lol

It’s a functioning car, what you are seeing in the trunk is his air suspension set up

the whale sounds like the door when I try to open it quietly at 2 am.

The teacher next door to my class has a fish tank. It’s very very small (like a metre tall and long). It used to have the little neon fish and a Dalmatian fish but the neons died (unsurprisingly) and now it’s just the lonely Dalmatian. They HAVNT bought food for it in days so I can’t feed it(I take care of it since nobody else does) it has no hiding spots, no real plants, it’s always dirty and the kids don’t even like it. So I asked the teacher “what will you do when it dies?” She said “get a goldfish” and I said “you’re just gonna keep buying fish and letting them die of neglect? That’s animal abuse” and I kid you not, she shrugged her shoulders and said “mhmm” I also asked one time if she killed fish as a joke and she said “only out of neglect” like bitch what? Nobody likes/cares for the fish, let alone acknowledge its existence, so why have it at all?

Remember when this was called “Fish Biologist reacts to (buzzword) TikTok’s”?

The word your looking for with the catfish is piebald.

I just wanted to let you know that I want to be an Marine Biologyst because of you.

You thought you could run from spiders by living under water?

I actually found a piebald catfish while at a beach near where I live, channel catfish are an invasive species here so that’s.. intresting.

I love how right when I said awwe a sea puppy, you said it's a sea puppy

Dude. I Watch while watching terarria and Im on a bus and I heared terarria music and nearly shit myself thinking I had my switch on max volume because I could hear it through my Bluetooth headphones. Thanks for the jump scare avnj

I'm so excited I got a 10 gallon tank today and hopefully am getting a betta for it tomorrow

How many parents stick their kids in front of tik tok and their only understanding of south east asia is people screaming at fish stuck in mud.

We can definitely hear whale calls. I have humpback whale songs in a video I took snorkeling off Hawaii Island. It’s amazing to hear, and you DEFINITELY can.

9:50 I think they were noodling and the fish just took his bait before he could grab it (I’ve never heard of noodling for tarpon though)

It was a while ago, but I believe a I was bitten by a Tarpon before, we were doing basically the same thing they were doing, holding smaller fish above water as I was scared for my life and my family was telling me to trust it. The fish proceeded to try and eat most of my arm, at LEAST my entire forearm. It didn't cause too much damage but the scratches were still pretty annoying. (Correct me if anything I said sounds incorrect, maybe even just the species)

Funfact: there are underwater spiders, i.e. Argyroneta aquatica.

With that Water Spider, we have Daddy Long Legs right? well that right there is Father Lengthy Limbs

I love the ocean, including those “sea spiders”. Get spooked dingus >;3

I legit laughed out loud at the mooing.

The Lobster guy always gives them a snack.

8:17 He's gonna say "yeah...I'm hatching these"

Alien abduction but they give you a Big Mac on your way out

9:13 I thought I was tripping out with the terraria music because the game is open across the room and I thought I was hearing it

Whale frequency is 12-20 so we could just hear the top end of their range. But yes I think that is a sound effect

There is over a thousand species of pycnogonids, ranging from intertidal zones to deep ocean trenches

another day , another video of the fish biologist reacting to tiktok.

The fish biting one the guy in that vid is known for getting bit stung and stabbed by all manner of things

the pie bald cat fish was a channel cat. it was caught here in oklahoma. I think it ended up being donated to the state aquarium.

I love how genuinely he reacts to sarcasm and shitpost, like "What do you mean unexpected item in bagging area? this isn't a Walmart, that's a fish 🤨" "Umm no, the Whale is not 'Built Different' this video is clearly edited.... no it's not a 'skill issue', skill has nothing to do with this 🤨"

I have an explanation for the Japanese car with the fish in the trunk, it might be a Japanese show car and he put that back there and puts the fish in at the show and no other time

You can hear some whales sometimes and only parts of their "song". The ones over I think 100hz but even that can be too low for many people especially older people

We can hear whales with just our naked ears but only partially they can “sing” at low enough frequencies that we can’t hear tho

The guy who wanted to get bit by a tarpon is Coyote Peterson from the youtube channel Brave Wilderniss. The actually have some great videos and Coyote let's all kinds of animals bite him like a gator or bullat ant

This, is the *The weather loach* . *The weather loach* is a loach. It is called the weather loach because it can sense… *the weather*

I NEED this fish man to do a video on Loaches. Loaches and noodly freshwater fish.

I want AVNJ to react to the guy who cheated in a fishing tournaments by shoving weights and others stuff in fish

I love the lobster man, he's dope as fuck! Imagine, for a moment, being pulled up into an alien ship, in earth's orbit, they look at you, give you a little tattoo on the bottom of your foot, and send you home with a rotisserie chicken or like, a perfectly normal sandwich. That lobster is now an outcast, existing only on the fringes of lobster society, because everyone think she's lost it, she keeps telling everyone about the pale giant who dragged her up and just let her go after giving her a fish.

4:43 ive watched that guy, he sends everything he puts back with a snack 🥰

Coming from the reptile world that channel cat would be called a cow based on the color morph

9:38 i watched frame by frame just incase and yeah basically his whole hand was in its mouth or atleast got bonked by it

There are some catfish specific species that will burrow in the size of rivers in the mud but the most certainly do not come up to the surface they leave holes in between where they're digging in their body so that way water can flow in the tunnel they're making not whatever is happening here and they also and they also are terribly afraid of each other they would not once they saw the other catfish they would swim in opposite directions.

7:45 going over the net was probably an accident.

5:25 I know there are some animals that have a piebald morph and that is what it looks like to me kinda

What an amazing job, massaging fish eggs out of fish for people to later consume. Where do I sign up? Definitely wouldn't give me nightmares every single night, definitely not

People 2000 years ago: I fought 12 men in the coliseum and a whole lion to entertain my lord. Lost only one arm and an eye, lmao People now: The insect with eight legs AND in water! YUCK!

YOOO THE SMALL ENEMY SPIDER

So that was with the Milkfish, a Cowfish!

Put the fairy wrass back in the reef!

1:38 sounds like elk to me

8:53 why i instantly noticed the terraria overworld music?

These videos never stop having me questioning humanity's obsession with fish tiktok Oh yeah also I wish yall a having a good day

I also saw someone ask if a cowfish is a thing after the piebald conversation. look up long horn cowfish. You're welcome

Love the Aqucarium

5:24 , the term you are looking for is piebald. Lueistic, melanistic, and albino animals are that one color over their whole body. Their are a few exceptions for lueistic and melanistic animals, but these exceptions are due to pre existing spots or stripes that that species has, and those would never be white in color. Piebald is actually relatively common in deer, or so I've heard. Edit, literally 5 seconds later someone brought it up in chat lol.

I thought that was a cow, but it seems I've been catfished

I've literally heard whales Before

1:03 Actually you can. At least for some whales. Source: I pressed my ear against the glass of the beluga tank at the aquarium.

Before first tik tok: Why’d the title say ugly? After: Oooooooooh

I’m guessing the catfish was piebald? Idk that much about dif fish genetics tho

1:11 I thought that it was so loud it would burst your eardrums?
