I have some very small sculpin in my fishpond because they are attractive. I just feed them worms because when fishmen fish with worms, they seem to catch lots of sculpin on the hooks. I also provide sticklebacks, small fish in the pond too. They seem to be doing great and thriving.
Blob sculpins are not considered dangerous to humans. These small, deep-sea fish are primarily found at significant depths and have no known harmful effects on people. They possess a unique appearance and are more of a curiosity than a threat, primarily feeding on small invertebrates in their ocean habitat. Overall, blob sculpins pose no risk to humans.
Tide pool sculpins are preyed upon by birds such as gulls, herons, and cormorants, as well as by larger fish such as lingcod and rockfish. Some crabs and sea stars may also feed on tide pool sculpins.
Sculpins are primarily carnivorous, feeding on small fish, invertebrates, and other aquatic organisms. However, some species may exhibit omnivorous behavior by consuming plant material or detritus when food is scarce. Their diet can vary based on habitat and availability of prey, but they are generally classified as predators.
Tidepool Sculpins have many different types of predators. They are commonly preyed on by the Great Blue Heron, larger fish and crabs, river otters, and raccoons.
A crab's predators are halibut, dogfish, sculpins, octopus, otters, sea turtles, and maybe even other species of crabs. Humans consume about one and a half million tons of crab, annually.

Cold Blooded. the only fish that even comes close to being warm blooded is the Blue Tuna. but even thay are truly cold blooded. the reason thay might be considered warm blooded if the fact that they expend so much energy swimming that when caught and opened their bodied are warm. but when at rest and alive their blood is cold.

Yes, stonefish have relatives within the family Synanceiidae, which includes various species of venomous fish known as stonefishes and scorpionfishes. They are part of the order Scorpaeniformes, which also encompasses other related fish such as sculpins and rockfishes. These relatives share similar habitats and some physical characteristics, but stonefish are particularly known for their potent venom and camouflaging abilities.
The Blobfish belongs to the subgroup of fish known as Opisthoproctidae, commonly referred to as the fathead sculpins. These fish are characterized by their gelatinous bodies and are typically found in deep-sea habitats off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand. Blobfish are particularly noted for their unique appearance, which becomes more pronounced when they are brought to the surface due to the change in pressure.
