Razorfishes are a small family of unusual shaped species which are normally found in shallow tropical waters. The long thin bodies have sharp dorsal and lower body edges and a straight profile with a long snout. The very small mouth has no teeth.
The body is covered with many thin translucent bony plates and the sharp part of the dorsal fin is located close to the tail fin, comprising one long sharp spine at the end, with two shorter spines behind.
Members of the Razorfish family are small, razor-thin fishes which often swim head down in small synchronised groups, feeding on zooplankton.
