Jag attack!

Amber had me in hysterics this morning. Apparently when she went to feed the Jag fry, the female leapt out of the water a couple of times to try and attack her. On the second attempt the Jag ended up on the fishroom floor!

Amazingly, Amber managed to wrestle the fish back into the tank with her bare hands.

I'm so impressed! Not even sure that I would be massively keen on grabbing an angry female Jag!

Introduction

I have always been fascinated by cichlids. They are among the most stunningly beautiful of fishes; they come in all shapes and sizes (there is a cichlid to suit everyone); and they have some seriously awesome behaviour. Since I started keeping fish 15 years ago I have kept and bred several species, but I never had enough tanks to house all the individual pairs I wanted (and their subsequent fry). In April '08, I was lucky enough to have a space-heated fishroom built into the garage conversion my girlfriend and I were having done. This diary is my way of keeping track of all my fish breeding projects. I hope you find it informative!
