Description
This fish has such a long name that it’s hard to remember; it is called the Pseudotropheus Auratus, and it is cunning little fish. It hides its roe in its mouth to save it from other fish, then shuts its mouth tight for twelve days, not opening it even to eat. However thin and hungry it gets, it will not open its mouth. At this period it even grows a special pouch under its jaw to take the roe. It doesn’t mind going hungry if it can be sure that the roe is always there, so that the young will hatch out safe and sound.
