Spawning video Hap. thereuterion

[thedavidzoo]

Caught my Victorian CARES Haplochromis thereuterion in the act yesterday and decided to catch it on video.
Excuse the crappy quality and length. I can't figure out a way to edit/crop the video shot from my cell phone.
Anyway, you can forward to around 50 seconds to see one of the main events (the whole video shows about 3). Boy does she have a mouthful now!

those little guys are cool
what are the males temperament to each others?

 

[thedavidzoo]

I have 2 males and 7 females. The dominant male has staked out his turf and definitely chases the other male around, but usually there are no real fights. Most of the time the sub-male tends to stay out of his sight by hiding behind something, so he is not out in the open that much.
