The ocean sunfish ( Mola mola ) .
The largest ocean sunfish found was 2.3 tonnes heavy. The bump-head sunfish ( Mola alexandrini ) can reportedly reach the same mass.
The longest is the giant oarfish ( Regalecus glesne ) – up to 8 metres, maybe more.
The largest bony fish (that we know of) to ever exist is the Jurassic Leedisichthys problematicus – 16.5 m long and 20+ tonnes heavy.

This is the world’s longest bony fish, it can reach a length of 26 feet or 8 meters and is a rare fish. It prefers to inhabit the deep waters of the sea.
