The first type of slow moving fish is sea-dragon fish. The sea dragons are small and strictly when they find food to eat. The sea dragon doesn’t have fins like other fish to swim, so they follow the current movement to travel from one place to another place. The sea dragon have a distinctive way when they come to reproduce because the male usually fertilize the eggs that the female lay on the male pouch. The sea dragon will take care of their fry at the moment that they were born and only 1% of the fry will continue to survive to become adult sea dragons. Another species that belong to the same family of the sea dragon are the sea horse.
The second type of slow moving fish is sea-horse fish. The sea-horse is the second least slow moving fish that lives in the reef environment. The sea-horse is the poor swimmer, unlike other fishes have fin and bladder to swim around. Sea-horse has not scaled like fish and they are captured by humans around the world, …show more content…
the estimation of seahorses were captured in the wild are 1000 each year and some of the species of seahorses barely become extinct. Since the pipefish are in the same family like others two fishes, but the pipefish have unique body shapes.
The third type of slow moving fish is pipefish.
The pipefish is not very active creatures other than for finding food. The pipefish doesn’t have a digestive system so they run out of energy and nutrients do fast. The pipefish doesn’t swim well due to the design of the body. They move very slow around and need to rest often. The pipefish is extremely beautiful because of their bright color variation. That’s why pipefish is captured by humans as pets. Humans are the main threats to pipefish include habitat loss, coastal development, and harvesting for using in traditional medicines. Each types of fish is in the danger because humans are destroying their habitat and captured them for any
purpose.
All of three types are extremely beautiful, which each type of fishes have different role to play and reasons to live in the reef. People should limit of captured them as pets and make them for medicine. If people don’t take any action now, eventually each type of fishes will become extinct soon because the populations have already gone down rapidly each year.
