Cool how their coloring also kept with the trend.. dark colored bottoms and light colored tops, basically the inverse of upright swimming fish

When you float there is no upside-down.

Weird. Looks like a catfish variant. Seems counter to their feeding to swim upside-down, assuming they ARE a catfish breed. Maybe they evolved to skim food off the surface instead of the bottom. I got questions. . .off to google.
EDIT: Seems like I was right on all counts.

If they are always upside down, does it make it upright? 🤔

I had two of these in black and didnt know anything besides that they look cool.
I had them togehter with mollys and guppys and so on in a 240 liter tank, and mysteriously fish gone missing. I didnt notice at first since the tank was pretty crowded but after a while it was obvious.
Didnt know why until one night, the aquarium lights where already out a few hours, i saw a molly tail at a weired angle peeking behind a stone. I watched closely and saw it was half way in this mf’s mouth, who was maybe two cm bigger than the molly.
They then got exiled into a pond of someone i know

So do they actually swim upside down or is it just “it looks like it swims upside down” because we have a ‘standard image’ of what a fish looks like and this deviates from it.

The “true” upside-down catfish (there are several catfish called this, but this is the original and the only one that swims like this all the time)
