Did you know?
- Common Rudds are schooling fish that prefer still waters with dense vegetation.
- Because Common Rudds can interbreed with other fish species, genetically pure rudd have become very rare.
- Common Rudds belong to the carp family and are therefore omnivores.
- The cultivated form of the silver rudd is known as the gold rudd, which has a bright goldfish-red color.
- Common Rudds can live up to 20 years.
Gudgeon
Gobio gobio
Schon gewusst?
- Gudgeons are highly adaptable and can even be found in underground lakes.
- They can live up to 10 years.
- Because Gudgeons prefer to stay close to the bottom, their pectoral fins are broad and spread out, helping them to support themselves on the substrate. Sensitive barbels assist them in feeling their way across the bottom while searching for food.
- During the breeding season, Gudgeons communicate using loud squeaking sounds.
