According to the park, female football fish can grow up to 24 inches long, but males only grow to be about an inch long — their sole purpose is to help females reproduce.

Cool fish. Sad for the poor males. 1 inch? And she’s about 24 inches with a cool tail? Now there’s an odd looking mating video—football fish porn lol.
