We live our human lives rarely thinking about anything other than ourselves. We should stop and appreciate the ocean and rivers and any body of water larger than a pool. There is a type of animal so interesting and yet not thought about; the fish. Beginning with the lowest on the list of 5, the Tilapia. This freshwater white fish is a herbivore also known as the aqua-chicken. The Tilapia is not found in the water; it is only farm-raised making it a genetically engineered fish. Number 4 on the list is the Triglidae. More commonly known as the Searobin, this is a bottom-feeding fish found in the western Atlantic with large pectoral fins. The 3rd fish is the Goatfish. The Goatfish got its name from the whiskers on its face. It uses these whiskers to sense its prey hidden on the bottom of the seafloor. Brook Trout is number 2. Brook Trout is a type of freshwater fish that is closely related to salmon. It is native to eastern North America and has since been introduced to Iceland, Europe, and Asia. The number 1 fish on this list is the Largemouth Bass. This fantastic fish is carnivorous and is native to the eastern and central United States. It is quite similar to the Smallmouth Bass except for its mouth size.
