Ricefish
The majority of the proposed species are actually minor, making them of investment for aquaria. The heftiest species, the Buntingi, is 20 centimetres (7.9 in length, but most are less than a fifth this length, with the most minor being just 1.7 centimetres (0.67 in) extended. They have various dissimilar emphasizes, combining a unexpected structure to the jaw, and the presence of an extra skeletal substance in the tail.

Some remoras, such as the spearfish remora, have even been found riding inside the gill chambers and mouths of
