Cardinalfishes

Funda, dagaa-donzi au dagaa ya gege ni samaki wadogo kiasi wa baharini wa familia Apogonidae katika oda Perciformes lakini spishi kadhaa zinaishi katika maji baridi, zile za jenasi Glossamia hasa.

Maelezo

Kwa kawaida funda ni samaki wadogo. Spishi nyingi huwa chini ya sm 10 na mara nyingi huwa rangi kali. Wanajulikana kwa mdomo wao mkubwa na kwa mgawanyiko wa pezimgongo katika mapezi mawili tofauti. Spishi nyingi huishi katika maji ya tropiki au nusutropiki, ambapo hukaa katika miamba ya matumbawe na nyangwa. Hawa ni samaki wa usiku na wanashinda mchana katika mianya ya giza ndani ya mwamba. Angalau baadhi ya spishi huatamia mayai yao ndani ya mdomo wa madume.
