Text Appearing Before Image:

The spawn and milt are both deposited inthis tunnel-like nest, as the male and female fish pass throughthe aperture. Then the male takes up his position at theentrance, standing guard with most praiseworthy perse-verance ; and by a rapid motion of his pectoral fins, back-ward and forward, a perfect current is created, which flowsthrough and over the eggs.

Gold and silver fish live well in the aquarium, but thesmallest size should be selected for the purpose; large fishwill not thrive unless the tank is artificially aerated. The white perch is a very beautiful inmate of our parlorponds. The same rule about selecting the smaller specimensshould be observed here also; and this general maxim inregard to fish cannot be too strongly impressed upon theamateur aquarianist. The white perch is plentiful in thePassaic
