Salema fish, also known as dreamfish, have earned their nickname due to a unique feature: their flesh contains ichthyoallyeinotoxism, which can cause vivid hallucinations when consumed. This intriguing property has been known since ancient times, with reports dating back to the Roman Empire. Consuming these fish, either accidentally or deliberately, can result in intense, dream-like experiences. The Salema fish's hallucinogenic effects are not commonly known, adding an element of mystery to this species. These fish are primarily herbivorous, feeding on algae, which may contribute to the accumulation of the toxins responsible for their psychoactive effects.
