By floating along near the ocean floor with minimal effort they can search for food without expending much energy. These fish feed on virtually anything edible, including a variety of carrion drifting down from the surface, crabs, sea urchins, and more.
What do blobfish prey on?
Blobfish do not have any known predators in their natural habitat but humans are their biggest threat. The blobfish is often caught in trawling nets by fisherman.
Can I have a blobfish as a pet?
Blobfish are wild animals, and therefore should not be pets. But even if you tried to have one as a pet, they could not survive in the average aquarium environment because they require the heavy pressure of deep ocean water on their bodies to survive – in other words – to keep them from blobbing out.
