Yesterday I came home from work to a dead Filament Barb and ripped fins on a few cichlids. The Festae was savagely attacking the others when they approached....she and the Jag were guarding eggs. You know me, I have no interest in hybrids even if they're going to be Manacondas. I have even less enthusiasm for dead fish so I destroyed the eggs. You should have seen the feeding frenzy as I scattered them around. I fended off the parental attacks with a net while I took care of it. I felt awful afterwards but it had to be done.
This morning when I went to the tank at feeding time and all the cichlids except the two ex-parents came to the front. They just sat there in their spot glaring at me like they're thinking, "I hate you". I wonder if they're intelligent enough to remember? I'm sure.
