Kat_Rigel Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Ah, my Google News algorithm knows me well. Interesting article on fish scale "armor" and the trilineatus cory. https://api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/animals/2021/01/tiny-catfish-shrugs-off-piranha-bites 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorydorasEthan Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Although I don't agree with the way they just threw some innocent cories (probably very stressed and confused) into a tank with lots of hungry piranhas to experiment (they probably knew what they were doing though, so I'm by no means saying their experiment was without purpose), this was actually really interesting on how such a small and unlikely fish can fend of against one of the most feared river predators of the Amazon. Can't believe that the little bottom dwellers in my aquarium would be able to do such a thing! Edited January 22, 2021 by CorydorasEthan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
