Aulopiformes is an order of marine fish that includes a variety of species, many of which are characterized by elongated bodies and large mouths. This group is diverse, with members like the lizardfishes that are known for their ambush predatory habits, lying in wait on the substrate to snatch prey. Others, such as the Bombay ducks, are more pelagic. Hobbyists may find some Aulopiformes suitable for larger fish-only tanks, where their unique behavior and appearance can be appreciated. Care should be taken to provide ample space and appropriate tank mates, as some can be aggressive.
