Facts
- The species can live in very bad conditions and needs little food to live (Ref: Wiki)
- The sound-producing (sonic) muscles attached to its swimbladders are the fastest known vertebrate muscles. This is used to attract females. (Ref: Wiki)
- The male fertilizes the egg; they hatch after approximately one month;When the eggs hatch the young toadfish stay attached to the yolk for some time.When the yolk has been absorbed for energy, the young toadfish learn to swim. Even when the young have started to swim the adult still protects its young. (Ref: Wiki)
- There is a large open pit of unknown function in the axil of each pectoral fin. (Ref: gma)
- huge yolk sac at hatch for development from hatch to birth (Ref: Dove1960)
