List of Fish That Look Like Prehistoric Monsters

[Taker]

I love fish species that look like prehistoric monsters or sea monsters. (Whether extinct, living or fictional)

For example Bichirs remind me of the Eastern Dragons or Water Dragons, Gars remind me of Mosasaurus.

So let's share list of fish species that look like prehistoric monsters or sea monsters that we can keep in tanks or ponds.

How about; Goosefish (Lophius americanus)?

I've always been a fan of the lungfish. But then again I guess they are prehistoric monsters to begin with. Lol

Always thought those dragon gobys looked cool, I've never owned one though.

For a bit of ancient fish escapism, Jeremy from River Monsters has a new 2hr show tracing the linkages of living ancient fish back to the rhizodont. Here's a link to the clip on Australian lungfish that I was lucky enough to help the film crew catch a few and film this piece.
