FISH IN CAPTIVITY
MUST EAT TO LIVE. ~ "Come and'eee-tho Mi fed!" This will, in all probability, be an invitation that will be frequently heard extended among visitors to the Zoo at Newtown Park, consequent upon the establishment; there of la very well-arranged aquarium. , Msh held in euch close captivity have to be fed artificially, just as well as recalcitrant Suffragettes. The fish now "tanked" at the Zoo are fed at 8 a.m. and .4 p.m., but the menu ie very restricted in its range.. The trout and the perch favour meals which consist solely of minced liver (bullock'e or sheep's): the tiny inch-long tTout fry, bejng delicate in their taste, are offered an entree of minced liver, topped off with a sweet in the form of junket. The golden and silver carp, which are quite robust in health, also favour nimced liver, but do not carp at a kttle vermicelli, which denotes an epicurean fa6tidiousnees in keeping with tbeir gorgeous hue. The awful-looking cat-fish—which have a peculiarly Mephistophelian cast of countenance—thrive on worms. . . ,
