I want to know some info. about a saltwater sucker fish. All I found online was freshwater sucker fish.?

Question

I know there is such thing because I saw it in an imax movie called Deep Sea.

Answer 1

i have a saltwater aquarium and im at the local pets store every day and have never seen a saltwater sucker fish. theres a scooter blennie they look like them but dont suck on the glass.

Answer 2

There are algae eating saltwater fish, but there are no pleco-like fish. The algae eaters of saltwater don't have suction-cup-like mouths.

The closest you have in terms of how it looks are remoras, which hold onto fish and whales via a suction like cup on the top of their head. The attachment doesn't hurt the host animal, but the remora gains protection from predators by hanging onto the larger animal.

Answer 3

I don't believe there is a such thing.  Not like the algae eaters or plecos that live in freshwater.  The closest thing to that is a remora or a goby.  They have suckers but not for eating, they use them to latch on to rocks or in the remora's case, onto sharks or rays.  Sorry, but I think you've been mistaken.  There might be such a thing in the deep sea like the title of your movie suggests, but something that lives down there wouldn't be able to be raised in an aquarium if that's what you're hoping.
