Mouthbrooders like cichlids has to be one of the best mothers in the animal kingdom. It’s amazing to see her fend off other fish then scoop them up when she doesn’t feel safe.
@@Peterift Never gets old. Only problem is my Matriarch is becoming so good, that everyone else in the tank is starting to leave her and her fry alone. She averages 108 I'll be inundated in no time lol
Awesome 🤩🔥
Thank you.

My Venustus Females do this in one of my main tanks. Still waiting for my Rostratus to start spawning. Amazing video.
It is a great thing to see their parental care.
