Text Appearing Before Image:
168 NATIVE AQUARIUM FISHES free from the parasite should be chosen where possible. The usual length is from two to three inches. They have been known to survive in the aquarium for several years. THE STICKLEBACK Froebel, the founder of the Kindergarten idea, wrote delightfully of the Stickle- back. Perhaps that accounts for its being fairly well- known, because it is seldom kept as an aquarium fish- anyhow not in the United States. This is a pity, because its breeding habits are unique. The male is the smaller, and during courtship (at least in the four-spine variety) the ventral fins become a fiery red. He selects a group of plants suited to his peculiar needs. From his body is exuded a substance which he attaches to the plants and proceeds to draw it into a silk-like thread which he continues to wrap round and round until he has constructed a wonderful little nest, such as shown in the il- lustration. An opening for water circulation is left in the side. The female deposits eggs in the nest and there her do- mestic duties end. Father Stickleback assumes entire charge, his principal duty being to keep up a circulation of water between the eggs. This he does by alternately blow- ing through the top of the nest and the side opening. Eggs hatch in about a week and for approximately ten days more he guards them jeal- ously against all possible enemies, regardless of size. Sticklebacks prefer eating live daphnia or chopped clams or oysters. They are not well suited to live with other small aquarium fishes.
