No Riders for Me!
- I am a fish, but I don't look like a regular fish.
- If you stretch me out, I'll measure 10 inches.
- When I was young, I was attracted to light.
- I could hatch from 10 to 100 babies at a time.
- I don't require a special temperature to live in.
- I eat brine shrimp and small fish.
- I usually sit and wait for my food to drift by.
- I swim among seaweed and algae.
- My kind of animal is more common in the India-Pacific ocean.
- I have bony rings around my body that are made of scales fused together.
