Photo sharing - crocodile fish

waisj · 13th January 2004

Hi all ,

Since there was a discussion on various fishes, crocodile, stone and scorpion,

here is a shot of a crocodile fish, please pardon the yellow fringes on the photo.

It was my first time using the C5050Z and i actually forgot to set the shutter speed to 1/250 to "mask" out the light from various torches,
thus the yellowish fringes around the photograph.

One funny thing to note though, this specis of corcodile fish/flathead, does not pocess eyelids to Camouflage its eyes

Please feel free to share any of your crocodile fish photos

It is great to be able to compare and see the differences between a scorpion fish and a crocodile fish.. always get confused between the similar species...

no lah, just that I saw your pic and realised this is what I have always called a celebes flathead. Gave up identifying the specifics long long ago, unless I am particularly interested in her.
