I am a different fish because in the day I live in swift-flowing parts of streams. This means that I am found in the gravel, where my flattened head and large pectoral fins help me to stay in place in the fast-flowing water. I am grey, with stripes running on an angle down my body, from top to bottom.
My food is the insect larvae that live on the stones, and at night, I move to the quieter ponds to feed. Our females are larger than the males and live upstream of them. Our young return to the rivers from the sea in autumn and spring. We have kept the place that we lay our eggs a secret from the humans.
