American-flag fish, Jordanella floridae, are also dependable algae-eating fish. They are one of the only fish to graze on black brush algae, as with the siamese algae eater, and will also indiscriminately graze on other algae such as diatoms and hair algae. However, like all pupfish, they can be nippy to fish smaller or slower than them. Males ...

The term "eel" is also used for some other eel-shaped fish, such as electric eels (genus Electrophorus), swamp eels (order Synbranchiformes), and deep-sea spiny eels (family Notacanthidae). However, these other clades , with the exception of deep-sea spiny eels, whose order Notacanthiformes is the sister clade to true eels, evolved their eel ...

Commonly, these fish are called gulpers or gulper eels.It is the only genus in the family Saccopharyngidae, and is part of the derived lineage of the "saccopharyngiforms," which includes other mid-water eel species.
In the sea many larger fish species prey on the Raitt's sand eel including cod, haddock, whiting, saithe and mackerel. [13] Many of these are very commercially valuable species and declines in sand eel have caused declines in their numbers due to lack of prey. [21] Marine mammals also feed on Raitt's sand eels but less regularly.
