Fish equivalent of sitting on a park bench with a buddy and shooting the breeze.

Fish fact #811

Reticulated hillstream loach!

Also called tiger hillstream loach. Their fins have adapted to work like a suction cup, allowing the loaches to stick to rocks and other surfaces even when their environment has high water velocity!

I totally got a reality check on how much of my brain is devoted to fish when I went to the pet store and immediately identified all of the fish without using the labels.

Also they’ve been dancing like this for half an hour and I still can’t tell if they’re fighting or flirting
