Glittering Glimmerfish: A Fictional Animal with Shimmering Scales

A Glittering Glimmerfish:

This five-inch long creature has bright gold scales that shimmer in the light. It has a long, eel-like body and a pair of long, feathery fins. Its eyes are large and black, and it has a wide, flat mouth that is used to filter small particles of food from the water. Its diet consists of small crustaceans and plankton. When it senses danger, it releases a sparkly glitter that confuses its predators.
