Information & Photos Of The Slender Sunfish Ranzania laevis
The Slender Sunfish is a strange looking
South African fish species
that looks similar to the less common Oceanic Sunfish. The Slender
Sunfish is an offshore species that can be found all around the coast of
South Africa and all around the World in fact. The Slender Sunfish is a
tropical fish that can grow up to 1 meter in length. The Slender Sunfish
is also called the Slender Mola, Ranzania, Short Sunfish, Trunkfish and
Oblong Sunfish.
Not a lot is known about the Slender Sunfish although it can be
caught in shallow water up to depths of 150 meters and possibly
deeper... In 2011 a Slender Sunfish washed up on a beach in the Western
Cape, this was the first occurrence of a Slender Sunfish washing up on a
South African beach. Please see photographs and images of the Slender
Sunfish (Trunkfish, Ranzania, Short, Oblong Sunfish and Slender Mola)
