Description
Sheepshead minnow is a common aquarium fish, living in both fresh and salty waters. It's native to the Gulf of Mexico and up and down the Atlantic coast, but has been widely introduced in other areas. Outside of its native range, sheepshead minnow threatens the native Cyprinodon species, mainly through hybridization.
