Silverside Weedfish

Okay, so the Silverside Weedfish doesn't really have a silver side, but we'll ignore that bizarre part of its name. The weedfish part couldn't be more spot on.

Weedfish are great. They are almost impossible to spot. They just hang around rolling about with the current looking like a broken piece of weed - a broken piece of weed with eyes.

Weeds underwater, or on dry land, are about as popular to eat as salad at a meat lover’s BBQ. So resembling weed full-time is a stroke of genius.
