Kevin’s Kodak Moment: Fishrocker.
Originally uploaded by jackardiac.
Wandering the aisles of the CritterDome (which I wrote about earlier in this entry), I found myself riveted to the glass as I watched this fish do his thing.
Basically, he was cleaning house. He would swim down behind the rocks, actually PICK UP a white pebble in his mouth and swim out to the other corner where he would drop it into a pile. He did this non-stop, at least 10 times a minute.
Swim, pick up rock, swim back, drop it. Swim, pick up rock, swim back, drop it.
It was amazing. I’ve never seen a fish do anything remotely intelligent, so this tiny spark had me entranced. (It could be argued that this doesn’t really count for an intelligent action, but it was entertaining, nonetheless…)
