You need to own a real flashlight. Go to the store. Buy a real flashlight and a bunch of batteries.

You rarely miss, but that is clearly a radioactive or green-fluorescent protein mutated trout and not the illustrious flashlight fish (pictured here credit: Georgia Aquarium).

Appreciate you holding us accountable over the fish we used in this graphic. We did search extensively for a stock photo of a legitimate flashlight fish but could not find one and had to settle. Rare that we need such a specific photo at a specific angle, but we will try to do better in the future.

Thank-you for being receptive to feedback. You've inspired me to do a copyright-free photo shoot of a flashlight fish next time I pull one up from the deep. The fact remains, buy a real flashlight folks!
