Fish Crazy
Hullo,
I have recently watched a video about lake tang. on youtube.
The video's is here
video
And the fish Iam going to mention are at 7 min in, and the mention of 'transvestite dwarves' is at 9.30.
They are shelldwellers the males of which are large and keep a harem of ladies in shells, they collect more shells to attract more females, the also pinch shells which have females in situ from other males.
But the bit which blew me away was the fact that the species has another type of male, which is the same small size as the females.
These little males sneak into the shells that the big male has carefully collected and fertilise the females inside!
Does anyone know the name of these amazing chaps?
