Perchibald
Perch are most commonly found in freshwater bodies of water such as small ponds, lakes, streams, or rivers.
They feed on smaller fish, shellfish, or insect larvae.
Perch have long, rounded bodies. On the anterior side of their head are the maxilla and lower mandible for the mouth, nostrils, and lidless eyes. On the posterior sides are the opercula that protect the gills and the lateral line system which is sensitive to vibrations in the water. They have paired pectoral and pelvic fins, and two dorsal fins.
Fun Fact: Perch lay their eggs in long, connected ribbons unlike any other fish!
