What an unusual fish. These are lookdowns at the Tulsa Aquarium. They almost seemed see through with the lighting they had in their tank. A very metallic fish and an older one, fist described by science in the 1700s.

Habitat:

Native to the western Atlantic from Canada, and Maine south to Uruguay, including Bermuda and the Gulf of Mexico
