So in German, cichlids are called ‚Buntbarsche‘, which literally means ‚colorful perches‘. While they‘re not related to true perches, I guess the ‚colorful‘ part fits quite well. 🐟 #photography #fishkeeping

Towards the end of the clip, you can see the dominant male watch the two fight. I suspect that the male also prefers to mate with dominant females. We‘ll see in the next few days. 🐟 #fishkeeping #video

And the third spot is coming back now that the male is sexually mature. Shows that egg spots are not just egg dummies but also indicate social status. 🧪🐟 #photography #fishkeeping

Paralabidochromis sauvagei from Lake Victoria. My fish are of the southern variety of this species, their ancestors originally come from Makobe Island. In the north of the lake, males are actually blue. 🐟 #fishkeeping #photography

The P. sauvagei from Lake Victoria are so far great fish. One of the most common Victorians in the hobby in part because, unlike most ‚Haplochromis‘-relatives, the females are also colorful. My trio is still young, will be interesting to see them growing up. 🐟 #fishkeeping #photography
