What does the Giganturid eat, and what is its Scientific Name?

It's for a science report, so I can't say it eats other fish. It has to be specific. (I.E crustaceans)

What does the Giganturid eat, and what is its Scientific Name?
Giganturids or telescopefishes belong to family Giganturidae and genus Gigantura (there are two species: G.indica and G. chuni)


According to Fishbase (see link below) Gigantura chuni eats other fish, including Cyclothone sp., Gonostoma sp. and Chauliodus. No similar data exist for G. indica.


Unfortunately there is not much available information for these deep-sea fishes.
Reply:G.indica and G. chuni and they eat fish.
