Flashlight Fish?

these are shy reclusive fish and come from dark deep water. They live in schools and I've only seen them in public aquariums.
That little pouch under its eye glows pretty good, but it looks like a small bean of luminescence
Not sure how they'll do in a regular fish tank, I guess probably okay if you can get them to eat and have a hiding cave

I have had these in the past as well as others I know that keep reef tanks, unfortunately they are not hardy fish at all and they dont adapt to home aquaria all that well. I would definitely do your research on the fish before purchasing. That was our mistake in the past was not doing research on the fsh until I had purchased them.

they are such a deep water fish.. from the experience I had and others, they just would not accept food in captivity and they finally starved to death. with all the lights in a reef tank, you would need plenty of caves and dark caves for them.
