PDA entry

Databank
Spadefish
Spadefish

A medium-sized herbivore found in deeper waters.

1 Single Eye

Observed swimming near to the seabed from where it can keep its one eye on predators in the water above it.

2 Mottled-green Coloration

Commonly encountered in plant-rich environments, the spadefish is well-adapted to hide amongst the vegetation.

3 Behavior

Spadefish tend to move in loose shoals, and despite their low speed will take necessary measures to avoid confirmed predators.
