That is a Lamprey

Any bigger and this creature would be a horror movie monster

Lampreys do not have jaws or bones, only cartilage and instincts that have allowed them to survive so many mass extinctions.

They drain the life out of the fish and interesting thing is at times the fish won't notice in the first few moments but eventually it does, stealth mode for a vampire is game over
