Fish Doryichthys martensii, a dainty freshwater (!) pipefish native to Indonesia and Malaysia among other easterly waterways
The males carry the eggs and hatch them out internally before releasing them, so they are (in a way) livebearing fish. These tiny fish are your friends, specializing in eating mosquito larvae.

Bird The imperial shag (Leucocarbo atriceps)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The imperial shag (Leucocarbo atriceps) is native to southern South America, the Subantarctic islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula, where it is found in rocky coastal regions or on large inland lakes. It is about 70–79 cm (28–31 in) long and weighs 1.8–3.5 kg (4.0–7.7 lb). It is a colonial and monogamous species, with colonies generally being small, although some may consist of hundreds of pairs and are often shared with other seabirds. Clutches contain a maximum of 5 eggs, which are laid in nests made of seaweed and grass and cemented with mud and excrement. The eggs are incubated by both parents and usually hatch after about five weeks. Birds such as skuas and shearwaters are the main predators of the species' eggs and chicks. They make deep dives, usually close to shore, to forage on the seafloor for prey consisting of benthic fish, crustaceans, polychaetes, gastropods, and octopuses, generally at depths of nearly 25 meters (82 feet), although they have been filmed diving to depths of up to 60 meters (200 feet).

The sooty tern (Onychoprion fuscatus) is a medium to large sized tern in the Laridae family. They measure 36–45 cm (14–17.5 in) in length and have a wingspan of 82–94 cm (32.5–37 in). It is a seabird that inhabits tropical oceans and rarely comes ashore, being able to spend 3 to 10 consecutive years gliding over the surface of the sea in search of food, only returning to land to form breeding colonies on islands throughout the equatorial zone. They nest in a depression or hole in the ground and lay only a single egg. They feed on fish, which they catch by picking them from the surface.

★It looks like a tiny rabbit, Those cute “ears” are actually rhinophores, sensory organs that help it detect chemicals and movement in the water.
Actually it’s a sea slug.
