This is my Red Devil/Midas hybrid tending her eggs. She laid these even though she doesn't have a mate. About a minute in you see her cull out an egg then spit it out a couple of times then eat it. Also notice the reflection in the glass? She thinks that's another fish, probably thinks it her mate. Crazy fish :screwy:. I'm sure a lot of you have seen this behavior before but this is my first cichlid so I thought it was prity interesting. Hope you guys do to. Sorry for the poor quality I filmed it with my phone.
