Jumping Rivulis



Hi,

I recently acquired some "Rivulis agilae Mont Joly" males
from Bill Gallagher. He mentioned they might attempt a
'walk-about' in my vivarium.

Well, last night I saw one lying half out of the water.
It was peacefully reclining on a some moss. I watch for
a while and the fish never moved. I left for a few minutes
and when I returned it was back in the water. Amazing!

I now have my camera (with a 90mm f2.8 macro) next to
the vivarium. I'll try to capture this behavior on film.

cheers,
