The case of the Snail Arrowfish can be a little ridiculous. It's between the 3-inch snail darter fish and then whether to build the Tellico Dam. The main focus on this topic is whether we should let the snailfish live or not. If we build the Tellico Dam the snails will die. On the other hand it is a big problem because snails are on the list of endangered species. In my opinion I am on the side of the snail fish because I think the fish should live. The cost to build the dam is eighty million dollars. For me it's a lot of money, and you? I can understand how this case has become serious and that some people prefer the dam side and others prefer the snail side like me. Yes, the snail darter fish is small but I don't think that's a reason to treat it differently, we should treat it like any other animal. Ok, if you don't know what a snail darter is let me tell you that a snail darter is a new accountant fish found in the Little Tennessee River. It is 2.2 to 3.1 inches long. It is found near the shallows of the river near the gravel. They also travel in groups, a bit like minnows, they don't swim or travel individually. Juveniles usually inhabit quiet areas of pools, migrating to schools around three to four months of age. They usually live up to two to four years. It is known to be related to aquatic snails and part of the perch family. Their prey are caddisflies, midges and black flies. The actual appearance of the snailfish is that the eyes are positioned towards the top of the head, four similar dorsal saddles, a blunt snout, and short, rounded pectoral and pelvic fins. The back has black freckles all the way down. Its color would be white belly as it fades sideways and turns yellow......center of the card......and the Snail Darter fish would be missed, but let it be taken off the Endangered Species Act list instead of being added to a list of dead species. I support animals, that's why I'm for the Endangered Species Act. Did there really have to be a dam there, was it really necessary? I mean, maybe it could help with the water flow? But is it worth killing a poor little fish? In some states it is illegal to move fish, so in this case the Snail Darter cannot be moved. Another thing is that just because it's small doesn't mean anything, don't judge a book by its cover! If it hadn't been against the law to move the fish they probably would have moved the fish, but it was against the law so it didn't happen. Even if they moved it, they would not be accustomed to the new habitat. I support keeping the Endangered Species Act strong enough to protect species like the Snail Darter.
