They have also been sighted in Florida. While they are born in saltwater, they spend most of there life in brackish water, and make their way to freshwater every once in a while. They can grow upwards of 2ft long . They are estuarine fish (which can make their way and survive in freshwater), and are found in the sea while spawning.
