Lake Tanganyika Species • Multie 'cleaning' shells

[Storiwyr]

This is probably something really common and thus boring to anyone who keeps multies, but I caught this guy cleaning the air out of the shells and was tickled pink by it, managed to catch it on video.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll upload it to youtube instead, then it should be more easily shareable!

Changed the settings, since I lost it off my phone .. maybe it works now?

This is really cute. I never knew they would pull air from inside the shell, until I watched our favorite documentary. And now you've captured it too! Funny little fish

That there is Percy the Boss Multie.

He also likes to dig and spit sand everywhere ... I have tried to film him doing so many times, but the little punk won't perform. I get my phone, sit down, get all ready, and Mr. Spitting-Sand-Like-A-Boss-For-The-Last-Three-Hours just floats there, staring at me, like he's saying, "Oh yeah? Whachoo gonna do 'bout it?"

That's hilarious. I can just picture it.
