Bicaudoslontus fractorna
Descended from S. squidyensis
After leaving the shallows and travelling into zone 5, S. squidyensis’ lacking speed was quicky exploited by the predators there. To help with this, they have developed new, semi-rigid horizontal flukes to give them greater thrust in the water. They swim by waving their tails in an alternating matter, providing constant thrust. They also grow to a length of 25cm, feeding mainly on the large leaves of M. aquatica. It is a generally active species, and they reproduce frequently but in small batches, with the female generally only laying 2-3 eggs at one time, however they can mate as often as every week. They lay their eggs at the base of the trunks of M. aquatica, and use their tail flukes to cover them with substrate if that area has any.
