It's one of the golden rules of the natural world – birds live in trees, fish live in water.
The trouble is, no one bothered to tell the mangrove killifish.
Scientists have discovered that it spends several months of every year out of the water and living inside trees.
The latest discovery was made by biologists wading through swamps in Belize and Florida who found hundreds of killifish hiding out of the water in the rotting branches and trunks of trees.

From uniseine, Philip Kukulski.
I have 4
Kryptolebias marmoratus (Poey 1880); Mangrove Rivulus SPECIES OF CONCERN (U.S.)
ref. http://www.nanfa.org/checklist.shtml. I can't await to have a single female produce viable eggs; should happen next month. Mine are from Belize. Protected in Florida. Also these fish are the champions of jumpers; I have heard marmoratus can jump from the glass above the water line to further up the glass.

This reminds me of a quote from a really old movie.
Fiddler on a Roof.
"The good book says that each must seek his own kind. A bird may love a fish, but where would they build their house?" - Tevye
Well, there's your answer
