    • They were on display at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. It was a heavily planted tank so that it would be, as much as possible, like their natural environment. There wasn’t much room for them to jump.

      I suspect that, because of their natural defense, they don’t feel the need to expend the energy on fleeing. Usually brightly colored animals have other means of protecting themselves. That’s why they are not afraid to draw attention to themselves.
