About dutiful fish

The story of dutiful son fish comes from the legend of "repaying mother with one's own body".

According to legend, snakehead is a kind of fish who knows how to be grateful. Gratitude is mainly reflected in the short-term visual loss of snakehead after giving birth to small black fish, and the female snakehead will lose the hunting ability after visual loss. At this time, the little black fish will actively surround their "mother" and then run to the mouth of the female fish one by one to serve as food for the female fish.

And it is rumored that this behavior of the little black fish will continue until the mother's vision recovers. Because of this behavior, snakehead is called dutiful fish.
