Even though the Earth looks like a big, watery sphere from space, over 99 percent of all the water on Earth is actually unusable to us. Whether it's salt water, frozen water, polluted water or water that's hidden away underground, the portion that gets left over for us and the freshwater fish of the world is incredibly low. In fact, only 0.3 percent of the freshwater in the world is found in surface lakes, swamps, and rivers. That's what makes it all the more amazing that there are thousands and thousands of species of freshwater fish out there when really they don't have a ton of real estate to work with.
Since we as humans have always lived closed to sources of freshwater out of necessity, it's no surprise that we have a long history of fishing for the critters that live in that same water. Freshwater fish have been a part of the survival of the human race since the beginning. Surely with all that history, you must be able to identify at least a few of the little guys (and not-so-little guys) that share our water with us, right? If you think you know your freshwater friends, there's one sure way to prove it — take this quiz and see how many you can identify!
