What scares Daniela? It’s not a shark or a stingray.
Surrounded on all sides by the dreaded needle fish, Daniela strenghtened her resolve; searching for any gap between the fish, she swam for an opening. Whew, made it.
The needle fish is a little, transparent, sardine like fish with a pointed nose.
Editor Comment: Daniela reminded me that they do resemble mini barracuda, which we agree can be agressive.

Yes,Daniela is right to be scared of them. When we lived in the Seychelles, at night, if we had torches, needlefish would jump onto the boat and then flap about uncontrollably. There was an unverified rumour that someone was once killed by one (spiked into his chest).
