Text Appearing Before Image:
It usually swims with the back fin above the water. Its fleshis white and good to eat. 314 LITTLE FOLKS After all these great round fellows, I think a slim fish willmake a pleasant variety, and heres the slimmest I can find—thePipe Fish, or Needle Fish, as he is sometimes called.
Text Appearing After Image:
He is a droll fellow, and performs some curious antics. Some-times he will rush through the water like a race horse, examiningevery crack and crany he comes to, and then he will amuse him-self by standing on his head awhile, blowing holes in the sand onthe bottom. He is usually about eighteen inches long; but he hassmaller relatives. There is the Snake Pipe Fish, about fourteen inches long andthe size of a goose-quill, and the Worm Pipe Fish which I believeis the smallest kind. This one has very amusing ways in an aqua-rium. Its eyes are beautiful, and move independently of each other,like the chameleon and the sea horse. It has also a prehensiletail; that is, it curls around a weed and holds on while its bodywaves back and forth. When it gets tired, it hides under theweeds. Some of the Pipe Fishes have a pocket in the skin in whichto bring up their babies, as I told you the sea horse has. IN FEATHERS AND FUR. 315
