Angel Fitor's Image
A tiny cichlid is taught the vital skills of shell defence.
For this species shells are prized possessions, providing space to lay their eggs, raise their young and live sheltered in an otherwise open sandy habitat. Therefore, defending them is of paramount importance. Although he kept his distance, Angel witnessed this first-hand as the tiny fish tried to push back at him.
