[edit] Behavior

Flyingfish use this ability to escape predators (they can't see beyond the water's surface).

Who can't see, the flyingfish or the predators? AxelBoldt 20:21, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Always? I think they also have playful jumping too. They jump in and out of the water in schools similar to how dolphins do. CaribDigita 02:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tobiko roe?

The roe of which species is most commonly served as "tobiko" in sushi restaurants?--Sonjaaa 18:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Probably the Japanese flying fish, Cheilopogon agoo. I'll see if I can add it. =Axlq 04:50, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Flying" fish

I have to say, even though someone reverted the link (and rightly so), that this video is amazing: "Flying fish" indeed (but wrong species). It's the most effortless fishing I've ever seen. I wonder what kind of fish they are? =Axlq 01:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Road to Mandalay

Rudyard Kipling once wrote of "the road to Mandalay/Where the flying fishes play/ And the (something)(something) China 'cross the bay"...Okay, so his geography was a bit off (Mandalay being in inland Myanmar/Burma and China being much, much further inland from that point, while flying fish are marine types of fish) but all the unrest in Burma reminded me of that poem. 204.52.215.107 00:13, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
