II Guppis Die ofCold

the point that any guppi likes
to live in. These fish have other
pecularities besides their inability
to stand severe cold.
Have Hard Life
They are the only piscatOrial
species which are born alive in
stead of Matched from eggs. Many
of their habits can be traced back
TO ancient Sparta. The young,
to survive, must be he-men or
very agile for their Spartan
mothers have a quaint form OF
amusement. When her young
are very young, Mother Guppi
cats them for breakfast.
Father Guppi, who is a trifle
old-faShioned about such things,
does not entirely approve of this
practice. His play is to chase
mother so that little George has
time to hide among the marine
flora. If there is plenty of green
grass, George is O. K. but If not
it is a bit hard on him. But
anyhow it makes for a balanced
aquarium. BY and by when
George gets to be a big boy he
can take care Of himself.
