Many prey animals have an automatic response to being eaten/captured. It's a defensive mechanism that allows them to die peacefully when they're about to be killed.


Congrats on saving your pearl, Susan.

Roan, your advice was spot-on. Glad you were there to help.

I have noticed this when I am trying to net very quick fish. It's like they surrender. Interesting.

Oh, and here's what the 56 looks like without so many water spots...

The ones that are on the back of the tank are from drips between the background and the glass. I am waiting for a huge burst of energy to get those cleaned off. It probably won't be soon...

If you find a huge burst of energy send some my way, I've been looking for one too. Nice looking tank and great job taking care of your pearl.
