Field Notes

Description:

Long striped elongated fish with a fluorescent tip on the tip of their nose.
About 20 cm long.

Habitat:

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, mangrove, Singapore

Notes:

Funny little lights floating around the water......oh no they are fish!
We are pretty sure it is to attract bugs so they can eat them.
