Calvus owners watch out!

[McFluffrichromis]

I tell you what every time I turn around my female yellow fin calvus is getting stuck. The first time she tried to go thru a hole in something that was too small and got stuck. I had to break the thing to get her out. I was confused. I thought she would be able to know she cant fit.

Next, The last two days I noticed the female hiding. Well I do some searching and she is not hiding she is STUCK again in another spot. I get her out gently and she is so happy swimming around after being stuck for two days. I have never had a fish this clumsy.

Man, what is the deal. She needs to be careful.

My warning to others keep a close eye on your females!:jumpy: Calvus that is.

Was she really stuck or did she wedge herself there to keep everyone else out?

yup

She was stuck both times for sure. IMO Well at least the first time b/c she was seriously stuck. The second time I suppose, but I feel that is not the reason. She was flailing and not going anywhere breathing fast both times.

Probably right then.

I did come home from the ACA last year to find a male Redfin comp. stuck in a cave opening
Did not make it.
