The lookdown fish has bright silver and gold glowing body and it’s forehead is extremely blunt it’s also really thin.The back and belly parts are straight. The habitat and region of this fish are that they are most found in sandy areas near bridges and pilings. Most of the times they live in small schools close to the bottom. My favorite fact about this fish is that when it’s under stress lookdown will grunt noises with their swim bladder and teeth. This fish is a prey and also it is heterotrophic because it gets it’s energy from other organisms but not from the sun. Well the adaptations lets silvery fish reflect light without polarization, and also something that I couldn't believe was that the lookdown fish can open its mouth enough to feed on shrimp, fish, crabs and worms and they are big. This fish doesn't have an eyelid she has circly small eyes and her two eyes are just mutual. This fish is an exothermic fish.
