Dive Into Your Imagination

Toad Fish, Belize

On a night dive when I used to search for these fish I would turn off my light, hold my breath and listen. Toad fish croak and make a deep gutteral sound in their throat. It used to make me laugh thinking that the toad fish croaked like a frog and that is why they have their name. The males make the call when they are searching for females. They have these amazing growths on their face. Extremely shy animals, they lie in wait but if you are not quick with the photo they will go back into their holes where they hide all day long.
