What type of body shape and tail shape do the fish on the following page have?

Fusiform body shape, homocercal tail shape
Fusiform body shape, heterocercal tail shape
Depressed body shape and diphycercal tail
Compressed body shape, homocercal tail shape

Why would their body and tail shape be a good adaptation to where they live?

They are a top predator and need speed to hunt down their prey.
Their tail shape gives them maneuverability and their body shape allows them to fit into small places on the reefs.
They are timid fish who feed and hide along the bottom.
