Bloat is a porcupinefish.
Porcupinefish are known for their ability to inflate their bodies by swallowing water, making them appear larger and intimidating predators. They have sharp spines that protrude when inflated, serving as a defense mechanism. Porcupinefish are also capable of producing a toxin called tetrodotoxin, which is found in their skin and internal organs, making them poisonous to predators.
Longspine squirrelfish (Holocentrus adscensionis) typically live for about 5 to 10 years in the wild. Their lifespan can vary depending on environmental factors and predation. In optimal conditions, some individuals may live longer, but detailed studies on their longevity in specific habitats are limited.
