MadSci Network: Zoology |
I recently visited an aquarium with a lumpfish exhibit. I noticed one lumpfish in particular that was constantly swimming into or trying to push against another lumpfish sucking to the tank's glass. Every now and then the lumpfish that was swimming against the other would momentarily but violently vibrate and shake. Why is this? I tried searching everything I could about lumpfish and came up with only a story about a diver who raised one up on his palm to show his partner before it started vibrating.
