even if you had a 100ft tank, it wouldn't house this fish.
they can't even keep it alive, I think it's a deeper water species going by it's body and weird fins.... The article did mention that when they found specimens they were almost expired and in poor condition which leads me to believe that they only suface before death.

What a nifty looking creature even if it was pretty apparent it was doomed. The secrets still left down there at depth...

I always find it strange that we want to go to the moon and other planets, but we dont even know whats in the bottom of our ocean. Everytime we get a big tsunami, there is almost always that animal report released later, 2 new kinds of fish found!

Tang Daddy, adult oarfish are blue water fish that hunt the open ocean. As far as I know, nothing is known about their juvenile life history, though I would speculate that they remain planktonic for their entire lives.
I wonder what the circumstances were for its capture. If found via the normal channels near shore, I suspect that this fish was so far from where it should be that it probably had little to no chance in the wild anyways.

A coworker of mine and I just checked a reference book and it turns out that this fish is NOT an oarfish (Regalecus russelii). The fish shown (Trachipterus trachypterus) is a ribbonfish, another very rare and unknown deepwater fish.
