classification challenge
This is an emerald shiner. It can grow to 3.5 inches in length. It is mostly found in oceans across north America from Canada to the gulf of Mexico. It feeds on small insects like zoo plankton. It is mostly used as bait fish . Its family includes the deuterostomas fish, the xenoturbellida fish , and the craniates fish. It is not a rodent. It is similar to its family because they have similar skin colors and they all are water fish. They are different because some of the family lives in oceans while the emerald shiner lives in lakes and ponds.It doesnt have a back bone it just has fins and a tails and of course a fish body.
