The seven native fish species regularly seen in fresh water are the flagtail (Kuhlia xenura), the mullet (Mugil cephalus), the gobies (Awaous stamineus, Lentipes concolor, Sicyopterus stimpsoni and Stenogobius hawaiiensis), and the sleeper goby (Eleotris sandwicensis).
The fish pushes forward with the pectoral fins while detaching the pelvic disk and rapidly undulating the body from side to side. This mechanism allows L. concolor to climb faster and reach further upstream compared to the Awaous Guamensis and other freshwater fish found in Hawaii.
