It a small fish with large fins.  And the circled thing in the above image are the lenses of its eyes. It looks as though its covered with a transparent glass sheet.  And the eyes allow the fish to see in a number of different directions 

Its eyes are ultra sensitive and is filled with green fluid that has the capacity of capturing the tiniest bit of light at the great depths at which it lives.  

The 2 things above its mouth are not eyes. They are  olfactory organs of the fish  similar to human nostrils. 

They stay still in water and hunt its food using  its awesome binocular vision like eyes.

what a beautiful little creature this is right?
