They Come Up Readily to Take Live Min
nows From the Attendants Hand.
The bIackfish in nature is shy, but in
captivity, with kindness, it is easily
tanned. In one of the pools of the city's
aquarium at Castle Garden there are
number of blackfish, including some Is
inches long and weighing two pounds,
that will take food, live killies, or min
nows, from the hand. The killie is held
just under the top Of the water and the
blackfish comes up and takes it. some
moving little warily as though inves-
tigating first so as to make sure that it
was all right, and others coming up
with confidence, taking the fish from the
fingers and swallowing it with a smack
Sometimes minnow escapes from
the fingers or from the fish that is try
ing to take it and darts away for safety,
with two or three blackfish, sometimes
more, after it. The little minnow sticks
close to the edge Of the pool and to the
surface Of the water. 1t is thus protect
ed on one side by the wall of the pool,
and at the surface it can swim faster
than its puIsueTs. and being SO much
smaller it can TuTn mueH quicker than
the blackfish. 1t may go half the length
of the pool, hugging the wall, and then
dart across the pool at right angles,
with the big blackfish still after it, So
long as the minnow keeps to the top it
is safe, but if it goes to the bottom the
chances are greatly against it. In deep
er water the bigger fish can do better
than the smaller fish.
Weakfish sometimes become very
tame in captivity. One has been known
to lift its head four inches ont Of water
TO seize live killie held in the hand.
