Fish That Build Neata-

There are fish that build nests Just as
birds do. The most interesting are the
paradise fishes of Japan. The nests they
make are very odd indeed. composed en-
tirely of air bubbles. Ordinarily of a
dull silvery color. the malo fish goes
a-wooing in striped costume of red,
blue and green, with streaks of brightest
orange on the ventral fins. Later on the
female constructs the nest, swallowing
mir and ejecting it in the shape of buo-
bles held and made permanent by glu-
tinous capsules from secretion in her
mouth.
