Pet Question

Fuji goby, or goby for short, although they all look silly, and most of them are short in stature, only a few centimeters long, they are the largest family of fish known. There are more than 2100 types.

Gobies are distributed in coastal waters around the world except Antarctica and the Arctic, especially in tropical and subtropical waters, where they are the most abundant. Some species can also adapt to freshwater life.

Fuji Goby Sea Fish

A prominent morphological feature of the goby is that the pelvic fins are integrated into one body, forming a sucker-like structure. This structure is very adaptable to the intertidal environment. When big waves hit, it can allow the goby to cling to rocks or other fixed objects without being washed away.

The biggest characteristic of gobies is their short lifespan. There is a goby living in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, and its lifespan is only 59 days! Of course, this kind of fish also grows very fast. They can reach adulthood within 3 weeks and die after mating and laying eggs.
