Don’t worry, the fishes are fine! They are pilots -golden trevallies in fact. They help the shark navigate and keep clean in exchange for scraps and protection. Lemon sharks like this guy can grow upwards of 3m (11ft) in length, weigh about 100kg (220lbs) and they have very sharp teeth as shown in this picture. Always heartwarming to see a good symbiosis.
