Well I came home today and was going to go feed the fish. First on my list was the Cenicichla proteus/ convict tank. I'm looking into the tank and I see the male convict surounded by a cloud of fry. I was a little surprised, as the pike normally takes care of them as soon as they are free swimming. So I keep looking to find the female(she is usually right there with the fry too. I see the male convidt the pike is hiding in her pot for some reason, but no female(starting to think the male killed her
). So I keep looking. All of the sudden the pike comes out and shows me were the convivt was... IN HER MOUTH!
I managed to net the pike and get the convict out her mouth, surprisingly with little damage. I think the pike took more damage from the male convict when she had her mouth full with the female. I figured this should be documented and snapped a few pics. Not the best pics as I only took about 20 seconds to take them. Needless to say, I had an interesting afternoon so far.
