Upside down fish turn up

A shoal of bizarre needle-like fish that spend their lives standing on their heads have become the latest attraction at Deep Sea World in North Queensferry.

The shrimpfish - close cousin of the seahorse and sea dragon - swim in synchronised groups with each fish in a vertical position with its snout pointing down.

Deep Sea World's Chris Smith said: "They're amazing looking fish.

"It's really strange to see them together - their synchronised swimming is almost like watching some kind of underwater ballet!"
