One night long ago when feeding one of my tanks, I noticed a very small (~ 1″), solid black colored cichlid venture out from a little crevice and grab a morsel? I stood there watching in utter amazement. Why? There shouldn’t have been any juvenile cichlids or even fry in that tank. It contained no breeding pairs of species…at least I thought. The tank was a 75g community Tanganyikan tank containing leleupis, a male and female Neolamprologus tretocephalus, a lone female Julidichromis marlieri, a lone Eretmodus cyanostictus, two small plecos, some dithers, and three adult Altolamprologus calvus (2x male, 1 female).
