Why Swim Upside Down?

Post by Shane »

Below is a link to a PDF of Chapman, Kaufman, and Chapman (1994) Why Swim Upside Down? A comparative study of two Mochokid catfishes. Copeia. 1994 (1) pp 130-135

A very interesting read and makes reference to a captive spawning of S. afrofischeri in the Lake Victoria exhibit at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston.
