BUBBLE BEDS

-
OF all strange nests, the one that
has pleased me most is that of the
Indian paradise fish, kept in an ordin-
larry house aquarium, says a writer in
lEt Nicholas. This fish is novel, not
Ionly on account Of its brilliant mark
| ings, buts.it also breathes aifs and
does not, like other fish. depend for
hts oxygen on that set free in the
! water by aquatic plants. But the
, most remarkable thing about 1t is its
method of building nest. These
amazing nests not only float, but are
| formed Of air bubbles.
4 With its mouth, the fish blows the
1 little bubbles, and coats them with an
adhesive or mucilaginous substance,
] SO that they adhere together and
/ form floating fairylike mass, in
which the young are Matched. Occa-
sichally young FISH will slip out, or
apparently tumble out of his bubble
home, and circle away, finally falling
to the bottom Of the aquarium. Then
| one Of the parents, noting what has
happened, swiins quickly to the bot
! tom, draws the little one into its
mouth. and swfms back to the deli
cate bubble home with him.
