A group of beach fans encountered an interesting fish, as they emerged in shallow waters of Mexico’s beaches.
The silver rainbow allfish was filmed in a video washing the coast of Playa El Quemado in Baja Sur, California, and appeared in rare days.
“The fish swam straight to us and raised its head about two inches above our head,” beach fan Robert Hayes, who recorded the fish, told Storyful.

“We redirected it to the water three times and it came back every time.”

The flat fish were placed on the beach outside the water before people could approach the creatures.
Another man in the video identifying the deep-sea species tried to bring the “fish” back into the sea before swam back to the shore.
“This is amazing. It’s the smallest thing I’ve ever seen (allfish),” the guy who says in the video can hear.

According to the Florida Museum, allfish are usually located at sea depths and range from 650 feet to 3,200 feet or more.

According to the Ocean Conservancy, allfish are commonly referred to as “end of the world fish.”
Last year, Ben Frable of the Scripps Oceanography Marine Vertebrate Collection Manager said in a statement that an increase in allfish spots from the coast could be linked to changes in ocean conditions.
“Many researchers have proposed this about why deep-sea fish chains are raised on beaches. Sometimes it may be linked to broader shifts such as the El Niño and La Niña cycle, but this is what we’re talking about. That’s not necessarily the case,” Freebel said.
The Florida Museum reported that allfish were found only on the surface or only at shallow depths when injured or died.

The allfish can reach 36 feet long, but this particular fish in the video appeared to be on the small side, the Florida Museum said.
“The long, flat tapered body is a reflective silver with a lengthy dorsal fin used to swim and turn. Its sudden, slightly concave profile makes it ideal for filtering out the crickle and crustaceans. Set with a toothless mouth. Florida Museum officials wrote online.
Deep-sea fish were found along the shallow waters of Mexican beaches, and many believed that rare creatures were wounded or dying. (Story full)
“It is a deep-sea fish floating vertically because it floats vertically to the water column, and itself chases the elaborate red first spines of its dorsal fins and pelvic fins.”

The man in the video that identified the fish helped it move through the water.
He told Hayes that if he gets injured he will take the fish to a marine biologist, Storyful reported.
