Go Fish!
X-ray of flowerhorn fish, a misshapen head, skeleton and the black swim bladder are visible in this image. The stomach, liver, intestines and other organs are located in the space below the swim bladder. This fish is an ornamental cichlid that has been overbred in order to produce the huge head and the very bright (unnatural) colors. Much like pugs and bulldogs, the facial bones are abnormally shortened which can cause feeding and developmental problems.
