Weird Fish

This was not what I had in mind for my second post on this blog. But I'm so confused as to what kind of fish this is that I had to post it.

Could anyone please tell me what kind of fish this is?



The mouth just doesn't look like that of a fish.




This fish was caught at Kulur-Kulai, a place on the western coast of India. None of the fisher folk have seen anything of this sort before in their lives. They too, are at a loss regarding this fish.

If you know anything about this fish, I would be glad if you could tell me something. Please leave your comments.

The top one, I have no idea. The bottom two look SIMILAR to a batfish (although, looking up batfish does not yield very clear results).

I'm fairly sure that they (top, middle and bottom) pictures are of the same two fish.

To me they look like deflated Puffer Fish. I hope this helps.
