While they are all quite beautiful, the most colorful species of bubblefish is the rainbow bubblefish (I. iridescentis), which can boast patterns in any colour imaginable. This beautiful display of colour is what gives the bubblefish its name, as it is reminiscent of the colourful streaks on the surface ofa soap bubble. | ||
Depending on the species, bubblefish can grow up to a foot long. Their most notable feature are a series of spines in its dorsal and ventral fins. Normally they are mostly swept back, but the fish can move and point them in the direction of a predator, or simply spread them out. These spines are translucent and, under the right lighting conditions, emit a faint, otherworldly glow. | Depending on the species, bubblefish can grow up to a foot long.
