Banggai Cardinalfish, Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia (@ Daniela Dirscherl/age fotostock)
comments,
- Native to just one small corner of the oceans…""These swimmers are a popular aquarium resident
- This fish is the only one of its genus that\s active and feeding during the day.""What\s the word for that?
- The males of this species carry the fertilized eggs and brood the young after they\ve hatched.""All inside their mouths – gah!
- These fish are endangered in their native habitat due to harvesting for the aquarium trade.""So, traders introduced the fish to a nearby area, where their numbers are increasing.
