Dracula Fish
Danionella dracula
The dracula fish (Danionella dracula) is a species of tropical danionin fish from the cyprinid family. It is a freshwater fish endemic to Myanmar. A close relative is Brachydanio rerio, the zebrafish of aquariums. It is named dracula after its unusual "fangs": male dracula fish have protruding tooth-like bones stemming from their jawbones. Males have been observed using their fangs to spar with other males.
