not possible.

the pressure, temperature, chemistry at such abyssal depths cannot be recreated in our home tanks.

^^ wonder if decompression can be applied to these creatures? similiar to how fish is harvest in the deep waters..

[yikai]

no really.

it's very very deep.

these abyssal creatures live in kilometers deep. the pressure there is immense, the food there is very specialised and the lights there are almost zero.

in order to keep them you have to keep them in very high pressure tanks with pitch darkness and very very cold temperature.

not to mention almost all of them die when brought to the surface.

our deepwater reef fish are collected at around 200ft deep. this is already considered super deep as far as reef fishes go.

these abyssal fishes are collected at 1-2 kilometers deep.

but imagine if it were possible. how cool it will be!
