Subject: Aquaticinfo: Pirate Perch?
All:
Does anyone know the origin of the common name for Aphredoderus sayanus,
the pirate perch? I presume that it has something to do with the fish
perhaps feeding on the eggs of other species, but that is just a guess.
Also, has anyone heard of this species being propagated in captivity?
(Aside
from the two cases where Ray Katula bred them).
We have been working with this species for about three years, and *finally*
have around 25 free-swimming young to show for it.
