Croaker

They are found worldwide, in both fresh and saltwater, and are typically benthic carnivores, feeding on invertebrates and smaller fish.

Croaker have an extended dorsal fin getting to practically to the tail, and an indent amidst the beams and spines of the dorsal, in spite of the fact that the several parts are in fact divide. The butt-centric fin ordinarily has several spines while the dorsal fins are profoundly scored or split. Most species have an adjusted or sharp caudal fin. The mouth is situated level and is ordinarily subpar.

Celebes Rainbow

The celebes rainbow is a species of fish in the Telmatherinidae family, endemic to Indonesia.

Celebes Rainbow (Telmatherina ladigesi) is originated from Indonesia. In Indonesia, they can be found only near the town of Maros, so the other name of the species is Marosatherina ladigesi. Due to ornamental fish business and pollution, their numbers have dramatically reduced.

Common Carp

Common Carp still an exceptionally notorious sustenance fish in some nations , and are also much sought after by anglers. The ornamental form of the common carp is widely kept in ponds.

Common Carp are also popular with anglers, and fishing lakes and reservoirs are often stocked with carp. Large carp have big appetites, however. They can harm the nearby nature by consuming their route through the aquatic plants and destroying the habitats of many other species as a result.

Clown Loach

Like all animals, fish spend some of their life sleeping. However, no other fish sleep in quite the same way as the clown loach and its close relatives; they take their naps lying on their sides on the bottom.

The clown loach’s atypical resting disposition was absolutely unknown until an aquarist spotted it in one of his particular fish. The clown loach was lying on its side, hardly breathing, and looking as if it was close to death.However, as soon as the clown loach was disturbed, it simply “got up” and swam away in typical fashion—at lightning-fast speed. Since then, this unusual behavior has been well documented.

Cavefish

There might be as few as one hundred Alabama cavefish other side full of vibrancy today. This makes the species the rarest fish known to science, as well as one of the most endangered.

The Alabama cavefish is teetering on the edge of extinction. One of the crux explanations is since it is only found in Key Cave, which lies on the shore of manmade Pickwick Lake on the northern bank of the Tennessee River. It may have occurred in other caves in the past, but repeated searches have failed to find any of these fish. In addition, some of the other caves were flooded when Pickwick Lake was created.

Chimaeras

Chimaeras are named after a mythical Greek she-monster which had the head of a lion, combined with the tail of a dragon or a serpent, and the body of a goat.

While chimaeras are evidently not a mixture of these creatures, there is probably that they are odd-looking fish. On account of they look a small such as sharks, they are moreover in some cases called apparition sharks. Unlike most sharks, however, chimaeras are weak swimmers, especially since they do not possess a “normal” fish tail. The most powerful fins in these fish are the pectorals (chest fins), which are shaped like fans. They use their fins to propel themselves along.

Conger Eels

These large, predatory eels can often be caught near the coast by anglers, because they often lurk around jetties. Conger eels are also frequently found by divers exploring wrecks.

Conger eels are shy fish, preferring to stay out of sight and retreating into their hiding places if they feel threatened. In shallow waters they are usually nocturnal. They emerge under cover of darkness and often swim out across sandy areas in search of prey, which they grab with their powerful

Catfish

Catfish are fascinating creatures. Some wink, while others buzz. Some sting and can kill a human, while others drink blood. Some even use jet propulsion to move through the water.

Catfish are one of the simplest bunches of fish to distinguish, owed to their whiskers, or barbels. Most species have four pairs of whiskers.One pair is usually on the head, another on the upper jaw, and two more are on the chin. However, there are many variations.

Remarkable Sound Box

Catfish also have an unusual bony structure called

Cuttlefish

Despite their common name, cuttlefish are not fish at all but are relatives of squids and octopuses. They are skillful hunters, with an amazing ability to change color in a flash.

Cuttlefish hunt mainly at night, often lying halfburied in sand or mud during the day. Even when active, they spend most of their time near the seafloor, swimming slowly by rippling the fins running down their sides. They can also move faster by squirting water out through a tube beneath the head. Inside the flattened body of

Comb Jellies

Mysterious and beautiful, these little-known animals trap their prey as they drift in the surface waters of the sea. Some use elaborate fishing lines and some give off an eerie light in the dark waters.

These animals must not be confused with jellyfish. Comb jellies’ bodies are not umbrella-shaped and they lack stinging cells. Most have oval or rounded transparent, jellylike bodies, but a few are ribbonshaped. They are predators. Those that “fish” release their two tentacles (fishing lines) from pouches, one on either

Cichlids

Unlikely though it may seem, some cichlids can actually remove snails from their shells before swallowing them. Others can make females “cough up” their babies—and then they eat them.

Cichlids form one of the largest and most varied families of freshwater fish known to science. Some are as small as a paperclip, and others are as large as a small shark. Some are circular, like a dinner plate, and others are thin, like a pencil. Despite the wide range of sizes, shapes, colors, and behaviors found in cichlids, there is one unusual feature that is common to them all.While the vast majority of fish have two
