Clownfishes
The ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris), also known as the false percula clownfish or common clownfish, is a marine fish belonging to the family Pomacentridae, which includes clownfishes and damselfishes. Amphiprion ocellaris are found in different colors, depending on where they are located. For example, black Amphiprion ocellaris with white bands can be found near northern Australia, Southeast Asia, and Japan.[2] Orange or red-brown Amphiprion ocellaris also exist with three similar white bands on the body and head. Amphiprion ocellaris can be distinguished from other Amphiprion species based on the number of pectoral rays and dorsal spines.

Electric eel part 2
The electric eel's electrical capabilities were studied by Hugh Williamson and John Hunter in 1775, contributing to the 1800 invention of the electric battery. Three pairs of electric organs are arranged along the body, enabling the fish to generate both low voltage discharges for electrolocation, and high voltage discharges to stun prey or to defend themselves. Electroreceptors are distributed around the body in the skin; this enables them to detect the electric signals of other Gymnotiform fish, which they hunt. Electric eels grow as long as they live, adding more vertebrae to their spinal column; males are larger than females. In aquaria, they can live for at least 20 years.

Electrical Eel
The electric eels are a genus, Electrophorus, of neotropical freshwater fish from South America in the family Gymnotidae. They are known for their ability to stun their prey by generating electricity, delivering shocks at up to 860 volts. Despite their name, electric eels are not closely related to the true eels (Anguilliformes) but are members of the electroreceptive neotropical knifefish order (Gymnotiformes), which is more closely related to the catfish. For over two centuries, the genus was believed to be monotypic, containing only Electrophorus electricus, until the unexpected discovery in 2019 of two additional species. E. varii is a lowland species of water bodies of depths that vary with the season; it reproduces in the dry season and provides months of parental care to its young. E. electricus and E. voltai are upland species of fast-flowing rivers, providing much less parental care.

World most Twenty snakes
All sea snakes have paddle-like tails and many have laterally compressed bodies that give them an eel-like appearance. Unlike fish, they do not have gills and must surface regularly to breathe. Along with whales, they are among the most completely aquatic of all extant air-breathing vertebrates.[5] Among this group are species with some of the most potent venoms of all snakes. Some have gentle dispositions and bite only when provoked, while others are much more defensive.

Twenty snakes
Most sea snakes are venomous, except the genus Emydocephalus, which feeds almost exclusively on fish eggs.[3] Sea snakes are extensively adapted to a fully aquatic life and are unable to move on land, except for the sea kraits, which have limited land movement. They are found in warm coastal waters from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific and are closely related to venomous terrestrial snakes in Australia.

Twenty sea snakes
Sea snakes, or coral reef snakes, are elapid snakes that inhabit marine environments for most or all of their lives. They belong to two subfamilies, Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae. Hydrophiinae also includes Australasian terrestrial snakes, whereas Laticaudinae only includes the sea kraits (Laticauda), of which three species are found exclusively in freshwater. If these three freshwater species are excluded, there are 69 species of sea snakes divided between seven genera

snake antivenom
Snake antivenom is a medication made up of antibodies used to treat snake bites by venomous snakes.[1] It is a type of antivenom.
It is a biological product that typically consists of venom neutralizing antibodies derived from a host animal, such as a horse or sheep. The host animal is hyperimmunized to one or more snake venoms, a process which creates an immunological response that produces large numbers of neutralizing antibodies against various components (toxins) of the venom.[2] The antibodies are then collected from the host animal, and further processed into snake antivenom for the treatment of envenomation.
