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 first time I saw my yoyo loach laying on its side, I thought it died and I needed to scoop it out. As I did it, it suddenly sprung back to life.
Turns out this is just how yoyo loaches sleep, on their side.
So here's my yoyo loach playing dead.
