Amazing Fact Of Fish

Mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus):

The mandarinfish is native to the Western Pacific ranging approximately from the Ryukyu Islands south to Australia. It is generally found at depths of 1-20 m, preferring sheltered lagoons and inshore reefs. The mandarinfish has a mixed diet that consists of harpacticoid copepods, polychaete worms, small gastropods, gammaridean amphipods, fish eggs and ostracods. In the wild, feeding is continuous during daytime; the fish pecks selectively at small prey trapped on coral substrate in a home range of many square-meters. They tend to sleep on the sand during the night, and may turn very pale and even become half-submerged.

Flying Fish:

Flying fish (Exocoetus) inhabits tropical and Subtropical regions of Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. The fish takes a leap with the powerful tail and glides for a few meters in air, sustained by large wing-like pectoral fins present. Hence the name 'flying' fish. True flight not possible. It reaches a size of 30 cm to 45 cm. Scales are large; cycloid. Eyes are also large. Dorsal fin located opposite anal fin. Carnivorous. Excellent food fish.

Do you think only our dear ladies go beauty parler... Guess what fishes go to beauty parler too.. The cleaner fish cleans all bacterias from other fishes. Every fishes go to them.

Seahorse:

Seahorses (Hippocampus) occur in tropical and temperate seas including Indian ocean. Size variable (5 to 20 cm). Head large at right angle to body and produced into a tubular snout; thus resembling the head of a horse. Hence the common name sea-horse. Body enclosed in an armour of bony plates. Eyes that can move independently of each other (like a chameleon). Mouth tootless and suctorial. They swim very poorly, rapidly fluttering a dorsal fin and using pectoral fins (located behind their eyes) to steer. The male seahorse is equipped with a brood pouch on the ventral side of the tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses emerge fully developed. Once the seahorses are released into the water, the male's role is done and he offers no further care and often mates again within hours or days during the breeding season. Seahorses have no caudal fin. Since they are poor swimmers, they are most likely to be found resting with their prehensile tails wound around a stationary object. According to Guinness World Records 2009, H. zosterae (the dwarf seahorse) is the slowest moving fish, with a top speed of about 5 feet (150 cm) per hour.(Image Source)

Puffer fish:

Puffer fish are generally believed to be the second most poisonous vertebrates in the world, after the golden poison frog.They are most diverse in the tropics and relatively uncommon in the temperate zone and completely absent from cold waters. They are typically small to medium in size, although a few species can reach lengths of greater than 100 centimetres (39 in).(Image Source)
