There are so many fishes around the world that sometimes not many people know about their existence. Either it was big, weird, or even colorful.
Recently, a picture has gone viral on the Japanese Twitter after a man named Azusa has caught a fish with many bright colors on its body. If you see the picture, you might think that the fish was not real or it might be the result of too much editing.
But, it actually was a real fish. As a prove, Azusa uploaded a video on his Youtube channel last Friday. The video that was uploaded on Fishing Gang Azusa shows that the fish was caught on Zamami Island, Okinawa, Japan.
As reported by the Oddity Central, the fish that Azusa caught was known as ‘surge wrasse’ (Thalassoma purpureum). While in Japan, it was known as ‘Kinubella’ (キヌベラ).
It can be found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans and can be found at reefs and rocky coastlines. Until now, the post that was uploaded on Twitter has received more than 37 thousand retweets and over 200 thousand likes.
