Pristella Maxarillaris has an air bubble in its body which is an adaptation to living in a large body of water. The air bubble allows the fish to keep from sinking whenever it is not swimming. Because of its ability to float, the fish can hide from predators in a stationary position. (such as between two rocks) Sharks do not have this air bubble and they must keep swimming to stay afloat or they will die.
