EXOTIC SUNFISHES 
beautiful colors, interesting breeding habits and take 
Supervise bringing up babies and protect them for several days, 
or weeks. 
CICHLIDS 
Most of these fish are from 
South America. The Amazon Ba- 
sin offers quite a variety of 
these miniature foreign fishes. 
The Scalare or Angel Fish is a 
member of this family, as are all 
the other varieties listed under 
this heading. Most all of them 
lay their eggs on hard, smooth 
surfaces and when the eggs are 
hatched, take care of the young. 
An exception to this rule is the 
mouthbreeder. The female carries 
the eggs in her mouth for about 
ten days to two weeks in a spe- 
cial pouch. Their interesting 
breeding habits, and also their 
beauty, has made Cichlids one of 
the aquarist’s favorite fish and no 
collection is considered complete 
without them. a

Haplochromis Multicolor 
(Egyptian Mouthbreeder) 
They dig a depression in the sand and lay their eggs, which are 
fertilized by the male after they are laid. The female then picks 
the eggs up in her mouth, where she places them in a special com- 
partment. Incubation period 10 days, during which time the female 
fasts. After the young, which may number as high as 50, emerge 
they swim back into their mother’s mouth when there is danger.
