Look Down Fish
The crazy shape and mild disposition makes the Lookdown Fish, or Look Down Fish, a winner in the large aquarium. Expensive but unique and adaptable, these fish can grow to nearly two feet so you will need at least a 150 gallon tank. Look Down Fish were discovered by none other than the father of zoology Carl Linnaeus, though most likely they were well known prior since they inhabit the Atlantic Coast from Canada to South America. Look Down Fish will eat meaty foods and marine pellets and do not nip their tank mates.

The Look Down Fish is a striking addition to my 150-gallon tank. It has a unique appearance and is very calm. I feed it marine pellets and occasional meaty foods. It’s a bit expensive, but the visual impact is worth it.

I was initially hesitant due to the size, but the fish has adapted well. It doesn’t bother other fish and looks great in the corner of the tank. Feeding is straightforward with marine pellets.
