Pachycormiformes - Wikipedia
considering a large majority of fish are teleosts and that these were teleosts it seems counterintuitive that the current big filter-feeders are whale sharks and baleen whales, neither of which are even remotely close to these massive fucking fish.
they reckon these are their closest living relatives kek, meanwhile the largest pachycormids are confirmed to have been 16.5 m long (mogs me). just keep having sex with larger members of your species until you grow so large you have to constantly sift plankton out of the water to survive, bro. just become dependent upon huge amounts of biological productivity bro it won't backfire when something goes wrong at all.
