To protect them from predators, Amazonian fish called splashing tetras lay their eggs out of the water. Just below the surface a couple of courting tetras will curve their bodies then spring out of the water and land on the underside of an overhanging leaf. For a moment the pair hang onto the leaf supported only by the suction of the male's floppy fins. Again and again they will jump and each time the female will lay about a dozen eggs and the male will fertilize them. In the end, around 200 eggs will have been hidden out of harm's way, while any eggs that drop off are eaten by the parents.
