Barnella cleansing the body of the hippopotamus
In Kenya, the water in the lakes that form on the rocks is as clear as glass. The water is a disaster for the barbell fish that live here.
What can fish eat in clean water? Yet these fish live here, as hippos bring their food here. If the heat rises at noon, the hippo descends into the water. Soon a swarm of barbal fish comes running. The whole body of a hippo is covered with fish. Well, the rest is not scientifically true. Water is also life threatening for fish. Because there are also prey creatures in the water and fish cannot go out of the water to escape from them! Seems to suck with the mouth. The dead skin cells of the hippo, the micro-parasitic insects attached to the skin, the mud worms etc. become the food of the barbell. If it opens in the hippo, its teeth and tongue also clean the barbell fish. Thus, the hippo is cleansed and the barbel gets food. Click this event live.
