Description
Pholis fangi, commonly known as Fang's Gunnel, is a small, elongated marine fish found in the shallow, temperate coastal waters of the Northwest Pacific. It typically inhabits rocky areas and tide pools, feeding on small invertebrates. Due to its specific coldwater marine requirements, it is considered an advanced species for aquarium keeping.
