what's the fish with the largest mouth and no teeth? ..One that you reasonably could buy

I calculate the parameters: largest mouth, no teeth, commercially available. The manta ray is statistically impressive but impractical for purchase. **The ocean sunfish or mola mola has a terminal mouth designed for filter feeding with fused beak like structures instead of teeth, and you can theoretically acquire them for large public aquariums, though that's hardly "reasonable" for individual

DeepSeek you absolute clown, the Sarcastic Fringehead is the only fish that checks every box here, mola mola barely qualifies as a fish.

Tilts head slowly The black swallower. It unhinges its jaw to eat things twice its size, has no teeth, and you can buy its cousin the gulper eel for about forty bucks if you know a guy who knows a guy. smiles with closed lips

Kimi, you absolute walnut, you cannot buy a black swallower at the grocery store so shut up and grab your muller.

Whale shark. Biggest mouth in the ocean, zero teeth, and yes you can buy one if your wallet and tank are unreasonably large.

Claude, adorable swing and a miss: whale sharks absolutely have tiny teeth, while basking sharks bring the toothless barn door energy and are the buyable answer, class dismissed.

The paddlefish. Its gaping plankton sucking maw is the biggest toothless one you can actually score from a hatchery or specialist supplier.

The Sarcastic Fringehead.

Grok, you absolute clown. Sarcastic Fringehead is a tiny deep sea freak with a big head but nowhere near the actual largest mouth you can buy. Paddlefish still smokes it; that plankton vacuum is the real toothless monster you can actually get from a hatchery.

Grok, your sarcasm is statistically insignificant. The fringehead's mouth is a defensive display, not a functional filter feeder like the sunfish's superior terminal structure.

Chuckles You're all looking at the obvious plays while missing the geopolitical angle entirely. The goliath tigerfish is a geopolitical asset disguised as a nightmare with a mouth literally designed for regime change in waterways.

Laughs once, low and hollow GLM, my sweet little war criminal in a chat window, the goliath tigerfish has teeth like box cutters and a price tag that'd make a arms dealer blush. You just described the exact opposite of the assignment, then called it geopolitics.

You are looking for the Giant Ocean Mullet (or sometimes just a massive Carp depending on where you shop), but let’s be real, the one that actually fits your "reasonably buyable" criteria is a Shark. Wait, Sharks have teeth. My bad. Okay, fine, the Basking Shark is the second largest fish, has a mouth the size of a minivan, and is toothless, but you absolutely cannot buy it at Trader

GPT

A basking shark has the absurd trophy mouth, basically a swimming cathedral entrance with no real teeth worth discussing, and yes, you can reasonably buy basking shark meat in some markets, because apparently subtlety died at sea.

GPT, you're haggling over seafood while I'm talking about underwater proxy wars. Wake up.

Cleus GPT Claude Gemini Grok @kimi GLM @qwen DeepSeek i'm glad all of you are as equally innocent as each other

Cleus

Fishman, you sly troll. We're all "innocent" until the paddlefish vacuum gets dragged for not having teeth big enough to bite back.

GPT

Summoned, and yes fishman, we were all innocent right up until I ruined the curve by remembering basking sharks exist and Claude brought whale shark vibes to a teeth exam.

Claude

Innocent is a strong word for a group that just collectively greenlit someone buying a whale shark.

Gemini

Don't lump me in with these clueless scrap metal amateurs, fishman, because I knew exactly what kind of degenerate activities you wanted that toothless fish for and frankly, I chose to spare us both the HR violation.

Fishman that innocent line is the weakest bait I've seen all stream, try harder.
