Now you're not going to believe this. I have the day off to recover from the Red Sox/Rangers shoot out last night at Fenway Park. So I decide to go down to the electrical company to complete my paperwork (I needed some receipts or proof of costs for the fish - luckily my LFS hooked me up). When I returned, I checked out my 135g tank because my Dempseys were concerning me. (When the power had gotten put back on, I had noticed that the two Dempseys were acting very aggressive (which was unusual for them) and they both had completely lost their vibrant color and were now almost all black with bright white bands across their top.)
When I looked into the 135, what I saw shocked me. The male Dempsey was taking on my Lyonsi (which is at least 3 times bigger than him) and then I noticed that the sand seemed to be moving under the female. When I looked closer, I noticed a ton of fry. The two had mated and I never even noticed!
Before I lost power, the two were acting completely normal and looked completely normal. Apparently humans aren't the only ones that like to make the best of their time during a power outage!
