Alright, I am usaualy quite laid back with cichlid behavior. I know males will squabble, chase females. Females will protect their eggs and so on... But, I am starting to worry about my hongsloi. I think they spawned a few days ago and ate the clutch of eggs. It was the first attemp from them, common acurance IMO. I have found that the more you leave them alone the better. I didn't confirm the spawn by checking the cave but the female was plump and yellow, and wouldn't leave the site much for a couple days. Now she is dark dark grey, and the male will not stop displaying to her and chasing her around the tank. I have watched cichlids for years, angels, dwarfs, ca/sa cichlids, but have never seen such aggression befor. I can not get any more hongsloi from any Lfs so loosing the female would be quite devistating to plans of rasing and breeding. Let me know if I am just being a worry wort or if this is something I need to be concerned with.
