This Fish Sucks: The Northern Clingfish

www.sciencefrid...
The aptly named Northern clingfish uses its fins to suck onto the roughest and slimiest of marine surfaces. Where manmade suction cups consistently fail, the clingfish achieves suctorial glory. Dr. Adam Summers of the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Labs, details how this bottom dweller takes the art of suction to new heights.

I love the end where you have people weakly putting suctions in the shower with no force to show that they fall...its like what you would see in an infomercial :L

Thanks, it was really cool to see the fish and I love seeing the scientists at work.

Fond remembrances of our trip to Friday Harbor in summer of 2013.

I have one in my tank... he will chase my finger and hand in the tank like he wants a bite. I would like to know about his teeth. I can't find any info about their teeth or size. He had triangle gums, so I assume there are some kind of knives in there.

[@jayjaywold8549]

I am told the fish is not alive. If that's the case, then how does it retain its suction powers post mortem?!
