Thank you! I've been up all night googling "highly protrusible mouth" and anything else I could think of for like the past six hours because I'm writing an article about amazing animal mouth parts and saw a drawing of this when I was a kid, but didn't know the name of the fish. I was beginning to think it was fake, but I regained hope when I found (Petenia splendida) in google images. I begrudgingly searched that as a backup plan and found your video and this was linked to it. Thanks again!!!
