Spotfin lionfish!
This fish, also known as a banded lionfish or broadbarred lion/firefish, is a nocturnal hunter! They're most active just after nightfall and spend their days hiding in small crevices: they point their spines back towards the entrance to deter any bigger predators.

Daily fish fact #227
Gars! (Pictured here is a longnose gar)
Fossil records indicate that gars used to be widespread, occupying every continent except Australia and Antarctica! Currently living species can only be found in North America, though. They can usually be found in shallow, freshwater or brackish water habitats.
