I'm sure they all feel they are the right way up! Your question may be a little ...? Damn, what is the word for 'from a human point of view'? Apr 06 06, 2:35 AM

Thre is a fish that swims vertically, I saw it on the telly , they swim in schools and it is so they can be camouflaged in the grasses. It was amazing as when they go into a grass field they literally disappear. from view. It was a documentary about camouflage and protection mechanisms. Apr 06 06, 11:27 PM

The sea horse is one fish that swims upright. Another is the shrimp fish of the Indian Ocean, which congregates in schools of several individuals and swims vertically. A catfish indigenous to the Nile and other African rivers also swims in the vertical posture. Many kinds of midwater deepsea fishes swim or rest vertically. www.nefsc.noaa.gov/faq/fishfaq1b.html Apr 07 06, 6:47 AM
