More about Brown numbfish
The Brown numbfish (Narcine brunnea) is characterized by its brown coloration, which allows it to blend into sandy and muddy seabed environments where it resides. Native to Eastern Pacific waters, this species is recognized by its almost oval-shaped body and distinctive electric capabilities, similar to other electric rays. In terms of appearance, it features a flattened body adapted for bottom-dwelling life. This fish is not prominently known or popular in the aquarium hobby, largely due to its specialized care requirements and potentially hazardous electric shock ability.
