Common name: Lizardfish

Synodus is a genus of fish known commonly as lizardfish, named for their lizard-like appearance with elongated bodies and large mouths filled with sharp teeth. They are found in warm seas worldwide and are benthic predators, lying in wait to ambush prey. In the aquarium, they require sandy substrates to mimic their natural habitat and ample space to swim. They are carnivorous and need a diet of meaty foods like shrimp and fish. Due to their predatory nature, they are best kept with larger fish that they cannot eat.
