Text Appearing Before Image:
«»$!&$*)*& :' w *i- - Fig. 290. Melanotaenia nigrans (Slightly reduced) Recently imported from Australia and popularly known as the Australian Rainbow Fish. We predict a permanent place for this beautiful species. The general color is golden with stripes of brown, blue and red. Bright red spot on opercle (gill cover). Easily bred in large open warm pools or tanks. For a fish not coming from the tropics its period of incubation is short, being only about 54 hours at a temperature of 76 degrees.
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 291. Malapterurus electricus (Electric Cattish) This most curious aquarium fish, when taken in hand, gives an electric shock which may clearly be felt as high as the elbow. How this is accomplished is not clearly under- stood, as it is supposed to be necessary to touch two electric poles to receive a current. If the head and tail of the fish were the poles, the current would only pass from one part of the hand to the other, instead of up the arm. The fish i9 able to cause the shock either in or out of the water. This is doubtless a means of self-defense, as the current is scarcely strong enough to kill a victim intended for food. Breeding habits unknown. 282
