@Hyosube @Sternarchella @fishspeciation - generally no problem. Just have to bring them in. Usually just ask for Compsaraia

@steeljawpanda not much light in Amazon main channel at 10m+ depth: little pigment. There is even sexual dimorphism in that jaw structure!

[Oliver Lucanus @belowwater]

Compsaraia samueli, the pelican knife fish. Males open their jaws wide and sparr over territory. Photo project for this month....
