Where do mudfish live?

Mudfish (also known as bowfins or dogfish) are a group of fish that live in freshwater habitats. They are most commonly found in shallow, slow-moving waters such as swamps, marshes, and oxbow lakes. Mudfish are also found in rivers and streams, and some species can tolerate slightly brackish waters. These fish are highly adaptable and can tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, including high levels of acidity and low oxygen levels. They can also survive in waters with high levels of pollution. Mudfish are bottom-dwelling fish and spend most of their time near the bottom of the water column. They use their specialized respiratory structures, called accessory air bladders, to breathe air directly from the atmosphere. This adaptation allows them to survive in waters with low oxygen levels.
