I hope you talk about the red coloration of most marine animals. Though from what I've learned in other videos, red becomes closest to black at certain depths and at certain amounts of light.
Sea dragons are cool but my favorite fish is the Olympic mudminnow, random somewhat forgettable pike relative that is monotypic in its genus. They dont have any especially close relatives other then a fossil species and have a really small native range, while they look and behave like any common mudminnow they are actually the closest relatives of the genus Esox which is interesting. I had the pleasure of netting some up once, when identifying them I never expected them to be such a rare animal with such an interesting story so it was fun learning about them. I also like the African butterfly fish, they are a very interesting fish that make decent pets if you know how to care for them properly.
6:42 "They don't really look red in this photograph, they even blend well into the enviroment" Me seeing them red blending in a red enviroment: well yes, but actually no.
I love SeaDragons too! The Weedy is my favorite, but I had never heard of the Ruby until this video. Thank you so much for sharing it! I appreciate learning something new😊
There be dragons here in Australia... bearded dragons, frilled neck dragons, water dragons etc... and the Komodo dragon evolved in Australia with it's current distribution being just relictual... also the Megalania, the largest lizard ever known from the fossil record is also Australian and was only driven to extinction within the last 50,000 years after humans arrived.
Never seen that lovely purple on the leafies! Would the bony plates covering their bodies be classified as osteoderms? Or are they called something else, as I have neither heard of another term for them nor heard people refer to this family when talking about osteoderms.
As far as i know this is its own kind of structure. It's not classified as osteoderms because these don't grow within the dermis layer but underneath it
@@isaacthedestroyerofstuped7676 while "osteoderms" is a general term for bony armor in various animals, "dermal plates" or "dermal ossicles" might be more specific terms used in the context of leafy sea dragons and similar species. The terminology can vary depending on the animal and the specific structure being described.
Pipefishes have wide varieties of male brooding forms Dunckerocampus brood eggs on their trunk inside an enclosed pouch Microphis brood eggs on their trunk with partially open pouch Entelurus brood eggs on their trunk without a pouch Syngnathus brood eggs on their tail with enclosed pouch Others are mostly tail brooders with partially open pouch
To add to what @carlean1016 said The cost of getting them itself is quite high. Wild caught trade is illegal, so you have to get a captive-bred one. Breeding them in captivity is difficult because we haven't completely understood their reproduction requirement yet. They also need to be fed semi-consistently

I forgot about seahorse existence every now and then in this mundane life
Real
Perfect ad timing

Well....i never thought Australia got dragons, China's gonna be mad about this😂😂😂😂

It’s just a seahorse except faaabbbuuulllllooouuusssseeee #yasss
No way a marine biology video... Now the algorithm can add snother tag to the video
So pretty and interesting.
Wonderful fish! Nice video!
can you please do zoology of aragami from god eater series
I wonder if this is the inspiration for dragalge?
I'm pretty sure it is
I think kingdra also have some seadragon-inspired traits

@@OutofPlaceZoologist That makes sense!

What does a pregnant pipe fish looks like? Do there have a pouch like the seahorse or there kept it on their tails like the sea dragon?
Pipefishes have wide varieties of male brooding forms
Dunckerocampus brood eggs on their trunk inside an enclosed pouch
Microphis brood eggs on their trunk with partially open pouch
Entelurus brood eggs on their trunk without a pouch
Syngnathus brood eggs on their tail with enclosed pouch
Others are mostly tail brooders with partially open pouch
🔥🔥🔥
Why it's so expensive to keep them? Water, temperature or their food?
they require large tanks due to their size and need very specific conditions, also they eat live plankton and fish larvae,

Thank you!
@@carlean1016 are there any challenges that aquariums face when trying to replicate the natural conditions for seadragons in captivity?
