What are fish called that produce their own light?
Fish that produce their own light are called bioluminescent fish. They have special light-producing organs filled with light-emitting bacteria that allow them to create their own light. This adaptation helps them communicate, camouflage, attract prey, or distract predators in the dark depths of the ocean.
Predators of stickleback fish include birds such as herons and cormorants, as well as larger fish like pike and bass. Additionally, mammals like otters and raccoons are known to feed on stickleback fish.

Why does your lobster tail smell like fish?
Actually, when fish are caught fresh from the water they do not have the 'fishy' smell we often associate with seafood. The fishy smell comes from bacteria that start acting on the flesh of the fish soon after it is caught.
When we experience the same fishy smell on ourselves, it's usually around a females genital area because there may be an overgrowth of many of the same type bacteria that like a moist environment, like the fish. Men that have not been circumcised and do not retract the foreskin to clean it daily (which is recommended) also end up with the same fishy smell. In most cases a good diet and exercise keeps your immune system strong and fights off much of this bacterial growth, plus basic hygiene like washing with soap and water often helps too.
For women, if the odor becomes very strong, it would be a good idea to get checked by your doctor because is may be a sign of a more serious infestation and that could lead to reproductive problems.

How do Mexican walking fish reproduce?
Life span: 12- 15 years
Males release spermatophore into the water and the female may take them up, eventually laying around 200-600 eggs on plants. The eggs will hatch in two weeks but the tadpole-like young will remain attached to the plants for a further two weeks. At two weeks of age they begin to swim in search of food. Young axolotls also eat each other and mortality rates are very high, around 97%.
