Little Black Nightmare Fish

Top picture: A Scaleless Blackfish (Snaggletooth Dragonfish), which is a deep-sea creature that was found along a line of extinct marine volcanoes in Australia. This fish has a tail that is capable of delivering a nasty sting. 

Bottom picture: This one's a Black Dragonfish (Idiacanthus atlanticus), which is mainly found in the North and Western Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The Scaleless Dragonfish uses bioluminescence to attract prey (and mates).


Enjoy your swim.
