Why do Bowfin have an ocellaris?

[USMCtanker]

Ocellaris is an eye spot, on or near the tail. It is to fool would be predators, So they attack the wrong point on the body and allow easy escape or minimal damage. Examples of fish that have it are oscars, P-Bass, and Chuck Norris.

Also makes would-be predators think that they don't have the stealth advantage. Harder to catch a fish if it is expecting you.

Chuck Norris cichlids live in Texas, kill all other tank mates by ripping ou their heart and eating it, and are fed a diet of red meat and beer.
