Gobies

Photo By: Mark Ridley,

Gobies are a very large familiy with over 1,500 species. They are bottom living fish and only very rarely make open water swimming trips. They have no swim bladder so when they do actually swim they look awkward, most of the time they use their pecroral fins to hop around on the floor.

Their pelvic fins are fused and can be used has a sucker to cling to a surface.
