Here we used a high-speed camera (500 frames/sec) to film a new species of Cyprinodon pupfish feeding on the scales of a euthanized goldfish. In the wild this species feeds mainly on the scales of other pupfishes.

Film by Christopher Martin. All live animal protocols were approved by the University of California's Animal Care and Use Committee.
