 (Life size) 



A moderate-sized aquarium, containing a numljer of Daiiio rcrios. placed in a 

 good light, gives us a beautiful picture. Their steel-blue stripes, alterating with 

 white and carried through the fins, make a brilliant effect as the fish play through 

 the water, never still a moment. The males have a slight yellowish cast in the 

 lighter portion of the fins durmg the breeding season. Easily bred. See pa.ges 

 253 ( B n and 260 ( N 1) .

 parts are a delightful opalescent color verging towards Iduc. and must be seen by 

 reflected light to he fully appreciated. The fins are shaded with reddish brown.

 in the female it takes a slight upward turn. Breeding habits, page 253.
