Why the blobfish Baby is So Popular Among Aquarium Lifers

Blobfish Baby urns are an exciting way to pay tribute to those that have lost their lives in the ocean. A beautiful gift for the mother or father of a drowning infant, these memorial blobs serve as a beautiful keepsake and permanent marker in memory. Each cute blobfish is encased in a clear glass urn, surrounded by coordinating white sand. When you purchase a Blobfish Baby urn, you not only support the life of the baby, but you are helping to raise awareness of marine conservation and the importance of safeguarding our planet's oceans. Every time someone goes under the sea, one less ocean critter will have to suffer.

Blobfish lay their eggs in a bubble-like sac called a placenta. The female blobfish will lay up to 400 eggs in one sac - making it the largest known species of fish at only four inches long! Because there are only about two hours of daylight during the year, the females are forced to forage during the night, using the light provided by the moon to help illuminate the ocean. Once they lay their eggs, the newly hatched blobfish need food to survive until they hatch. To get the nutrients needed, the mother blobfish will take on some of her own body weight in water, much of which she will retain until she gives birth.

Blobfish have very flexible bodies, capable of moving both forward and backward in the water. Blobfish have even been found to swim backward while floating in the water, using their tails as legs. Even though they possess these unique swimming capabilities, blobfish are usually quite peaceful creatures. They enjoy the company of other friendly fish, and they get along well with most other plants and plankton, although they may be picky eaters.

One of the funniest looking blobfish baby gifts ever! This fun little gift has become a collector's item and can be found in a variety of sizes, from baby versions made specifically for infants to larger sizes suitable for adults. The "Blobzilla" is about three feet long, including the tail, and is made of a heavy duty nylon fabric with elastic straps to keep it in place. This colorful blobfish body suit comes with a Velcro strap and a personalized tag. A perfect gift for the child of all ages.

The Blobzilla is part of a growing line of interesting novelty presents designed to provide children with the opportunity to learn more about nature by allowing them to view live animals under water. The Blobzilla is part of a new line of "Equalizer Inuits", an exciting line of aquatic life-like costumes that combine the comfortable warmth of a plush interior blanket with the freedom of movement and natural habitat afforded by an electric heater. (Natural habitat means just that-water, because the suit is not made of fiberglass). The Blobzilla is also compatible with other accessories such as the Blobzilla Inuit Memory Foam Mattress, a fun novelty sleeping accessory that allows the wearer to transform into an underwater animal for a unique sleep experience.

There are many places where you can find the Blobzilla Inuit as well as other sea animals and plants from the deep sea. If you visit Australia, for example, you will see the amazing range of sea life available to divers who go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. Some of the best sites for whale watching are at Greenmountain marine park and Kirra Beach, New South Wales. You may even chance upon a pink blobfish swimming along the ocean's surface or maybe a group of clown fish, depending on your location.

The blobfish belong to the teleost fishes group, which are generally easy to care for. They are generally very easy to breed in captivity and have a natural environment they prefer to live in. Some varieties grow to about four inches long and are bright green with black bands on their purple and black backgrounds. Their name comes from the blobby texture of their body, which is similar to that of a blob. Blobies also eat algae, corals and sponges in their natural habitat, so you can expect to see them in aquariums around the world.

However, they are not bottom dwellers, because they follow the food chain in which they feed. As food becomes scarce, they go searching for more, until they find plankton, which provides their bodies with the energy it needs to lay its eggs. Finally, as the eggs hatch and the fry, the blobfish take over as the dominant member of the aquatic ecosystem. Blobies provide a wonderful and sustainable food source for many marine species in the oceans and seas, including hermit crabs, starfish, pompano, frigate birds, sharks, rays, turtles and much more.
