What are they doing?

[Scottish_Sara]

Having newly gained Cichlid's, i have been watching them a lot. I have noticed a couple of them doing something that resembles a "Yawn" (For lack of a better word!).

Anyone have any idea what they are doing?

They're all in perfect health and are eating like it's going out of fashion!

:huh:

your right they're pretty much just yawning.

What kind of cichlids are they? Try putting a mirror up the the glass. This really gets my apisto's fins up. Then when you take the mirror away they think they scared off the intruder. It's good for their confidence.

I agree with xhibition though. Unless it is acompanied by gill and fin flaring it is probably just a yawn.

No, flaring, no dorsal up...nothing!!!

Just as i described, Like a yawn!

LOL...........who would have thought it was a yawn!!

They're bored with me already!!!

I NEED to get them some tankmates!!!

Thank's Guy's :bowing:

my 2 ap. borrelli's do the exact same thing, usually right after or right before gulping down something larger than normal, sometimes at each other too (sort of a "and this is why you stay away" type of thing I guess)
