I love your videos , we have covictos in mexico i love that fish i have one and just one because whey they are breeding they are really agresive and atack my hand when i clean the tank … super cool video sorry for my english …big fan of the chanel from mexico
Wow, a dwarf convict cichlid! That's mind blowing. It would be worth a study to determine why they choose to mature at such a small size, perhaps the need to hide in the tight spaces between rocks? I wonder what they found to eat in such a rocky habitat.
Your knowledge continues to impress Oliver; I eagerly await future content.
