Surfing Schistura balteata

A few days ago, following a large water change on the river tank, my last remaining Schistura balteata was out enjoying the flow. The tank receives several small water changes per week, but this was a larger than normal slightly cooler change, which always seems to excite this fish:

I was amazed at how long this aging fish continued to play in the flow, and was also able to catch it on video (please turn sound down):
