All info on the this species was provided by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convict_cichlid The convict cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) is a fish species from the family Cichlidae, native to Central America,also known as the zebra cichlid.Convict cichlids are popular aquarium fish and have also been the subject of numerous studies on fish behaviour. The wild-type of the species has 8 or 9 black vertical bars on a blue-grey body, along with a dark blotch on the operculum.Juvenile convict cichlids are monomorphic until they reach sexual maturity. The male is mostly gray with light black stripes along the body. Males are larger than females, and they have more pointed ventral, dorsal and anal fins which often extend into filaments. In addition, older males frequently develop vestigial fatty lumps on their foreheads. Unusually for fish, the female is more highly coloured.She has more intense black bands across the body, and pink to orange colouration in the ventral region and on the dorsal fin.The maximum standard length has been reported to be 10 centimeters, with total length near 12 centimeters (4.7 in).The body weight of the fish is about 34–36 grams (1.2–1.3 oz).Selective breeding has resulted in a leucistic strain, which lacks the dark barring of the wild type. The leucistic colouration is caused by a mutation in an autosomal gene and is recessively inherited. In natural habitats, the species has a diet composed of various prey, including crustaceans, small fish, insects, worms, plants and algae. The fish can protrude its jaw 4.2% of its standard length, allowing it to have a varied diet. Inferior social status and associated stress can affect digestive function in convict cichlids. The convict cichlid can reach sexual maturity as young as 16 weeks, though sexual maturity more commonly occurs at 6 months.Sexually mature convicts form monogamous pairs and spawn in small caves or crevices. In the wild, the fish excavate caves by moving earth from underneath large stones.Females adhere eggs to the walls of the cave.Like most cichlids, such as Oreochromis mossambicus, convicts brood (exhibit parental care of) both eggs and free-swimming fry.The eggs hatch approximately 72 hours after fertilization. Until that time the parents expel intruders and potential egg predators from around the nest. They also fan the eggs, moving water with their fins over the clutch to provide oxygenation. They fan the eggs both day and night; at night they use their sense of smell to recognize the presence of the eggs in the dark, and they keep their pelvic fins in contact with the eggs to remain at the right distance for fanning. In darkness the pair recognizes each other and detect predators using their sense of smell.---------------------------------------------- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6sJx8XwLK8
