In the wild, they're able to swim lower in ocean than most fish to get food

"Little cuties"
Ma'am... Those are big cuties.

They survive better in the wild because live in the open ocean. They got all the space they could want and more alone time then the average college student.

They eat jellyfish, a very slow preay with low nutritional value that is not worth the effort for faster predators, and can be outright dangerous.

[Goose-goose-ho]

Only sunfish I've ever seen are the ones you catch in animal crossing

What an interesting video!! Thankyou so much for posting this, 😁, now I'll go about my day thinking about sunfish! I wonder how they grow to be so big if they aren't efficient hunters?

The footage from the fishing vessel => If those fish take so much time to grow that large, aren't they a protected species or can they be commercially sold for their meat?
