It must be acknowledged that this fish is incredibly strong and resilient.
Recently, a clip showing a fish that had its head severed yet continued to swim energetically underwater captured the attention of many netizens. A lot of people expressed surprise and even fear at the sight of this “headless fish”…
However, upon closer inspection, some netizens recognized what type of fish it was, which made them less surprised at its ability to swim around without a head.
This is the plecostomus (or suckerfish), a species known for its resilience even in harsh environments characterized by extreme temperatures and water pollution. Compared to most other fish, plecostomus have less flesh, making them less popular as food. On the contrary, they reproduce and grow at a very rapid rate, sometimes causing ecological harm, leading people to find ways to reduce their population.
This species is quite resilient even in harsh environments.
In response to the clip, many people left humorous comments:
– Then what am I supposed to use to clean the glass?
– Actually, it’s still connected to its head via Bluetooth.
– Just give it a pill and it will grow its head back immediately.
– What else is there left to clean…
Despite this, it cannot be denied that plecostomus can be made into some very delicious dishes.
