Need help identiying this fish

[Chinxican420]

I just bought this fish from the LFS and they said it is a barracuda. I've been trying to search the web for info on them but couldn't find any...
I took the pic with my camera phone and will try to get a better pic soon.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks

it is definatel not a barracuda.... they grow like... massive myabe they are a deformed version of hatchelfish because i have never seen a fish like the before ?

 

[Chinxican420]

When you say.. "defoformed version of hatchelfish" Is this a bad thing? Do hatchelfish have a bunch of teeth?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Could be a freshwater cuda....i wouldn't rule it out. Sorry i'm a cichlid guy i'll sit this one out. But just wanted to make sure you arn't thinking JUST of the SW cudas.

 

[Chinxican420]

Thanks, I'll take some better pics and put them on.

from the looks of it, it looks like a juvenile HERRING! they can get 8-12 inches and will migrate out to sea. definitly please take some better pics so we can help you!

 

[Chinxican420]

okay, I will thanks!!!!!

 

[Fish Friend]

deformed is bad... its like when baby fish have been bred but like they are no formed properly... like for and example... someone born with no ears and legs..that would be disformed

 

[Chinxican420]

Well, I'll take better pic because they for perfect... and they have cool looking teeth.
I paid $20 for it... so it better be a normal fish.
LOL!!!!

 

[Fish Friend]

lol omg... maybe its a odd phirana in the fry stage still LOL

 

[Chinxican420]

ha ha ha
After I take some better pic, I hope it can be identified.

Do hatchetfish have a bunch of teeth?

 

[Firebug]

I highly doubt that it's a deformed hatchetfish or a deformed piranha.. But yes, hatchets do have teeth!

Talking about the sliver fish... Also they don't swim like normal fish... They have a twitching motion. Also they stay between 180 - 90 degree angle.
