Things I found

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

hi! did a search though your fishy facts and didn't see them, so would you be willing to do something on one of my favorite little guys, the saddleback gunnel? they're really silly and like to hide under your feet if they're caught at lower tides!

Yes!! Yes I will!!!!

Daily fish fact #827

Saddleback gunnel!

Their eggs are sticky and often stay in one big mass. Both parents are dutiful guardians that watch over them!
