The gills help it breathe.
No, sticklebacks do not hibernate. They are active year-round and do not undergo a period of dormancy during the winter months. However, they may exhibit changes in behavior and physiology in response to seasonal changes in their environment.
The male keeps it safe and when there ready he lets them go.
Ponds, Rivers, Rockpools and Esturies and more places like that!
Sticklebacks will eat most forms of larvae, Caddis flies, Mosquito, Mayflies etc but if you are keeping some fish yourself and these are not available you can feed young worms (brandlings) from a compost heap or just dig around the garden till you find some small slim worms. You can also get live food for tropical/marine fish from your local pet store and this will be adequate for your sticklebacks.
