Suckers Don’t Suck! Suckers are a variety of benthic, or bottom-dwelling fish in the family Catostomidae. They are called suckers because their mouths are on th...e bottom of their faces, and they have big, fleshy lips to help them suck up food from stream beds. Suckers are a true North American nativeall but two species of Catostomids are found exclusively in North America. Some examples of common suckers are White Suckers, Longnose Suckers, Silver Redhorses, and Quillbacks. These fish are often referred to colloquially as bush fish, or garbage fish, as they are thought to be undesirable and harmfulbut that could not be farther from the truth. All fish have their purpose in an ecosystem, and suckers are no different. https://tucanada.org/suckers-dont-suck/ #ConservationTUC #fish #sucker #fish #TUCanada #Canadaswater #northamericanfish #water #habitat #environment #rivers #lakes #streams
