fish that is taller than it's overall length
 

I didn't know where on the forum to ask this question, but I am looking for the name of an aquarium fish that is taller than its overall length, or wider than its overall length.

Also do the stated lengths of fish (like in books) include the tail?

Not sure how you measure length, but Michael's favorite saltwater fish -- the Long-finned Batfish -- is certainly taller than any measurement of the body from front-to-back.

taller than long
 

My personal favorites of the group, which can be both salt and fresh are Monos. They can get pretty big though for small setups.http://www.aquariumfish.net/images_01/mono_sebae_1.jpg
