Freshwater Gregory
Stegastes otophorus

- IUCN status: DD
This damselfish thrives where most reef fish cannot, in the brackish water of bays, estuaries and the lower reaches of freshwater streams. Pairs form to breed, the eggs stick to the bottom, and the male guards and fans them until they hatch. So little is recorded of it that its status stays Data Deficient.
