<<t the pygmy perch have a strange habit of
swimming upto marron (freshwater crayfish) and eating the little parasites
from them. Infact many farmers have pygmy perch in their dams to control
the parasites - namely temocephila, which reduces the price of the marron
because they cluster around the underside of the tail. Even in an
aquariunm, pygmy's will gather around marron to gobble up the parasites!>>

This is the sort of stuff everybody likes to hear.
