Commonly found in Florida Springs, these not so fancy looking fish feed on insect larvae, fish eggs, algae, and plants.They could probably use a new agent though, "Chubsucker" lacks a certain something.Lake ChubsuckerErimyzon sucettaBlue Springs Recreation Area Econfina Creek Water Management Area Northwest Florida Water Management District Washington County, Florida Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IIOlympus 14-42mm II R LensPT-EP13 Underwater Housing, PPZR-EP02 Lens Port & 14-42mm Zoom Gear
