I raise these in a tank in the greenhouse. Cool little buggers but they really like brackish water.

Cool looking fish! Thanks for sharing the pic.

I've caught some Violet Gobbies in an oxbow lake off the Brazos River north of Lake Jackson. They are cool little critters!

Looks similar....

The oarfish is the longest bony fish in the sea. Also known as the ribbon fish, it can grow up to 50 feet in length and weigh as much as 100 pounds. The oarfish is easily distinguished by its shiny, silvery body and its bright red crest that runs the entire length of its body. Oarfish live in the deep ocean at depths down to 3000 feet. They have only been known to come up to the surface when sick or dying and have rarely ever been seen alive. Oarfish have a small mouth and no teeth. They strain crustaceans from the gill rakers in their mouth. It is believed that an oarfish can survive with only half of its body intact. It is believed that the oarfish may have been responsible for the many sightings of sea serpents reported by ancient mariners. It is indeed one of the strangest looking fish in the sea. Oarfish are found throughout the deep seas of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean sea.

Its not an Oarfish, the fish in the picture has big teeth! Close but no cigar

RARE CORTEZ OARFISH--This rarely-seen example of a deep water oarfish washed up on Isla San Marcos, near Santa Rosalia in December 1993. San Marcos Mike Kanzler, who lives on the island, said this one was about 12 feet long, and he�s seen one over 20 feet, in 230 feet of water off Haystack, north of San Lucas Cove.
