LIVES TWO YEARS WITHOUT
FOOD.

This anomalous fish has yet another
striking popularity in its manner of
breeding Instead of depositing her
eggs in the bottom of the water, like
most other fishes, the female conveys
her eggs to her gill cases, where they
remain till they hatch. and where for
some time the young take refuge.
Food is probably not over abundant
in the dark underground waters. but
fortunately the blind fish is a hardy
creature, able to thrive on very meager
diet
Professor Eigenmann has shown that
when placed in an ordinary aquarium
the creature will live for at least two
years, absolutely without food, and
meantime appear strong and healthy.
Several living specimens from his
aquarium were exhibited to the MEM
bers of the British association and at
tracted much attention from the for
eign biologists.
