[Link](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2014/12/19/ghostly-new-fish-discovered-at-record-breaking-depths/) Basically it is a snail fish with a funny snout. Question is, why didn’t we find it in 1960? In 20 minutes? **Legion** would be proud. [Further link.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=283407&highlight=mariana+trench) ---

I’m just glad that the little guy survived Dethklok recording their album down there a few years ago. ---

How do they know the fish is deep? Maybe it’s the Chance Gardner of the fish world. ---

I read that title as “Worst deep dish found in Mariana Trench.” Seemed an awfully long way to go for pizza. ---

I looked for a thread for this yesterday, I figured The Dope would be all over anything going on in the Mariana Trench (but only for 20 minutes). Then when I didn’t find a thread I forgot to make my own. Anyway, my favorite part was that the research vessel was named “Falkor”. ---

Hang on, didn’t Piccard and… the other guy saw a fish at the bottom when they went down there (in the 60s for 20 minutes har har)? Aha, yes they did! > [@](#): > > [While at the bottom, Piccard and Walsh observed a number of small sole and flounder.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathyscaphe_Trieste) So, this wouldn’t be the deepest fish ever found; fishermen and their [del]tall[/del] deep tales… :rolleyes: ---

I figured the same Wile E and thought it would be a monty for a thread. Anyway I guess we can let this thread sink without trace. Boom boom.
