Find Your Perfect Water Companion

I am one of the bigger ones and I carry myself accordingly — slowly, because slowly is dignified.

I drift. That is the whole of it. I am among the slowest few in this tank and nobody has ever seen me rush, not once.

I am big, I am dark, and I take my time — slower and more settled than most of the fish around me. Move, stop and consider, move again.

I spend more of my time holding still than most fish here, and it is not laziness.

I am almost never still — only one fish here stops less than I do — and I almost never leave this patch of water. Round and round the same small stretch, checking it again.

One pace, one depth, all day long.

Up and down interests me far more than left and right. Surface to floor and back again, and I stop on the way more often than most, because each level deserves a proper look before I carry on.

I am the slowest fish in this tank and one of the largest, and the two go together nicely. A steady glide, almost never stopping, never once in a hurry.

I stop and stare more than any other fish here — something new turns up and I hang dead still in the middle of the water working out what it is. Then I cross the whole tank in one go, faster than anyone, before you have finished blinking. Curious first.
