What is mudfish?
Mudfish are freshwater fish that love to live in wetlands or other soggy areas. What's special about these torpedo-like wee fish is that they can exist without water for months at a time by burying themselves in damp soil, leaf matter, or under tree-roots until it gets wetter again.
