After one day, I’m pretty sure Keene (our flag cichlid) ate all the angelfish eggs. I am entirely unsurprised by this. Sorry, angelfish, Keene does not want any more neighbors. #aquarium #fishtodon #angelfish #cichlid

My daughter just now: “what are all these white bumps on this leaf?” (Pointing at the fish tank)
I go over and look at neat rows of mostly-transparent whitish ovals adorning a long green leaf.
“Oh. Oh wow. I think I know,” I realize.
After a little research: “Yep, they’re angelfish eggs.” And as I go over to look again, I see the koi angelfish… uh… fertilizing the eggs with… an appendage. That’s a new one for me to witness!
“Oh no, I’m sorry,” I literally say to the fish, embarrassed that I am intruding upon such an intimate moment.
Keene, the flag cichlid, is *not* impressed. The mother angelfish gets into a minor scuffle with him. He seems genuinely surprised that she is feinting back at his bullying.
This is gonna get interesting. I can’t get a plastic tank divider here until Saturday, and then if they were to hatch I would have *no* idea what to do with the fry!

The #rainbow #cichlids are growing on me for sure! Very active and busy.
I much prefer south american cichlids and the large variety they offer. I really don't understand why African cichlids are as popular as they are here. They offer good colors sure but nearly all come in the same physical shape and none of the personalities I've seen with SAs, well, except kribs. The #kribs are nice.

I've seen a handful of photos of red #ancistrus. usually the fish on such photos is a citrus orange or borderline yellow. It's one of the reasons why I never bothered getting some (LFS never carry). But since I'm currently collecting ancistrus, I had to get some of the red as well, and wow. I don't know if it's specifically my line, or if other photos just suck. But these are genuinely, actually, red! love it!

Difference in body size (or sexual #dimorphism) between males and females is common across the #animal kingdom. One of the most extreme examples of sexual dimorphism is found in the #cichlid #fish species Lamprologous callipterus from Lake #Tanganyika in East Africa
