Something that was a little different for me last night.
I was checking my Copadichromis trewavasae group last night and it looked like 3 of the females were
holding. I watched them for about 5 minutes and they were swimming around with the mouths full.
I have never had the male breed with more than one at a time so I was watching for a while.
I decided to feed the rest of the fish in there and when the food hit the water, all three females spit out one large piece of gravel and went for the food. Now I have seen fish pick up gravel to get food off of it but these were swimming around with the one piece for a long period of time. This evening one of them is actually holding eggs. Just seems strange to me. Could they have been showing off to the male?
"Hey there big boy. :jumpy: Look at how many eggs I can hold. :jumpy: " "Pick me"
