In Vietnam before 1995, people accidentally caught a fish of this type in Nha Trang beach and since then, they have not seen it again.
Razor fish (Solenichthys paegnius) belongs to a family of fish with strange shapes, very difficult to imagine if only described in words…
They have a relatively long, slightly flattened body, very large main fins, a big head, a very long, straw-shaped snout…
In general, their shape and color are identical to the branches of seaweed fluttering on the seabed.
They also have the ability to change color to suit the environment they are in.
They almost become “invisible” with their excellent camouflage ability.
Razorfish are also a faithful fish, often living in pairs for the rest of their lives.
This characteristic is similar to the seahorse, a distant relative of the razor fish.
This is a very rare fish . According to the Red Book, in Vietnam before 1995, people accidentally caught one in Nha Trang beach, and since then we have not seen it again.
Around the world, species of the razor fish family are very popular in marine aquariums. (Photo: Arkive.org)
