False stonefish

Hello Reader,




Some fish have biofluorescence, and this one is in the list. Greetings to the false stonefish.

The biofluorescence probably is used in communication with other from the same species, and assist in their camouflage, sins the corals also have biofluorescence.

Unlike the real stonefish who have 13 venomous spines the false stonefish have 12, but still have the dangerous venom. And like the stonefish they wait for the prey came to the range of atack. The false stonefish prefers walking to swimming. Sometimes they even get covered with sediment.

Stonefish (Synanceia)

Hello Reader,




I bring a thought fish. He can survive out of the water for 24h, have the most deadly venom and you can esly mistake him with a rock.








The stonefish have spines over they back, it is in thous people steps accidentally. They have a tissue that incover the spine, and when that finc in something and the tissue is pushed down squises the venom aut.




The venom of the stone fish is deadly and each of the 13 spines can delivery it, but luckily if you have a water hoten the 45ºC you can help diminish the venom. The venom of him is destroyed in high temperature, but it can’t be a temperature that hurt the person. But you still needed to go quickly to receive the antivenom.











The ability of stay out of water for 24h is related to the fact this fish just stay put and wait for they victims. Been stil even if the mare start to goin down and they can get stuck in a pond or even stay in a place where the water retreats totally. How normally in less than 24h the mare get bec, the fish can stay in the same place and just wait, food will came together with the water.
