Bull Minnow

Description:

This was just a juvenile, deceptively placid and harmless. As adults, which can range in color but generally maintain their mottled/spotty grayed appearance, they will eat most anything they can get in their mouths. They can top out around 4" or so in length.

Habitat:

Living in estuaries in the mangroves, the coastal waters near shore, and pretty much anywhere there is salt or brackish shallow water, these guys can be found year-round here in Florida.

Notes:

Goes by many names: Cocahoe minnow, bull minnow, mud minnow, and gulf killifish among them.
