Common name: Lizardfish

The family Synodontidae, commonly known as lizardfish, comprises benthic marine fish known for their elongated bodies and mouth full of sharp teeth, resembling a lizard's appearance. They are ambush predators, lying in wait on the substrate to snatch up unsuspecting prey. Lizardfish are generally not recommended for reef aquariums due to their predatory nature, but they can be fascinating in a species-specific or larger predatory fish-only setup. They require ample hiding places and a sandy substrate to mimic their natural habitat.
