Meet the Fat Sleeper AKA "Jade Sleeper Goby" AKA "Storm Minnow" πŸŸβ›ˆοΈ Prized for their blue spot and legendary as bait for big snook and other sportfish, the frowny-faced Fat Sleeper is valued wherever it is: judging you from your aquarium, breathing air from the top of its head while trying to avoid becoming candy for herons, predicting storms, or unlocking nutrients from mangroves to benefit the entire food chain. You'll learn how this native fish is the ultimate survivor, where it lives, and all about its weird "parade" and sticky eggs. Guest Eddie Perry joins from our Peninsular Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office to build appreciation for this wonderful fish.
