I was amazed to see the fish’s foraging potential when it jumped out of the water to eat the fruit. This fish, called tor embroiders, is a species of masher native to Southeast Asia. Tor embroiders are omnivorous; they feed on various fruits and seeds to their natural diet. Sometimes, they eat toxic fruits when the streams they inhabit flood the forest. During the rainy season, juveniles migrate downstream. After 2 months, matured adults travel back upstream to spawn at the headwaters in the dry season. I really love the motion of Tor embroiders jumping and eating the fruit, so I created this “Foraging Potential” Scratchboard Artwork. I wish this artwork owner would have unlimited potential when it comes to her/his gold in life.
