This morning while I was responding to a posting on this forum, I was watching a pair of albino paradise fish put on their spawning displays in a small desk top aquarium. I looked away for a few minutes, and when I looked back, the male was stuck, head first, in the filter tube. He drowned. Paradise fish can breathe air, but they have small gills. Maybe I frightened him when I sat my tea jug down on the desk. Anyhow, one or both of us did a stupid thing.
