Gudgeon

Adult gudgeon live on the bottoms of clear rivers, streams, and lakes, especially where gravel or sand provides cover. They forage with their sensitive mouth barbels for insect larvae, small crustaceans, worms, and detritus. Although modest in size, they are well adapted to holding position near the bottom in flowing water.
