To Hunt Or To Be Hunted (Preying On Small Fish)

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Predator Haps are some of the coolest African Cichlids out there. What they do that is different from other African Cichlids, is they Hunt for their food. They have different approaches on how they hunt. To see some of these practices in person is awesome.
Here are a few Examples.
Nimbochromis Fusco: They hunt small cichlids by ambushing them.
Nimbochromis Linni: They hunt be using their long snout to suck small fish from cracks.
Aristochromis Christyi: It attacks its prey by tilting its body, focusing on the prey with one eye, then it slowly descends on the prey before securing the fish with a sudden sideways strike.
Buccochromis Nototaenia: They like to hunt small juvenile haps that live over open sand.
Exochromis Anagenys: They like to hunt mbuna from a titled position and uses its strong grip to catch the prey.
Dimidiochromis Compressiceps: They prey on juvenile fish hiding among plants. Its thin body helps it avoid detection. It can use its protrusible mouth to reach out and suck in its prey.
Champsochromis Caeruleus: Is a pursuit predator. they feeds mainly on small Malawi Sardine.

    Hey wussup Paul Interesting Malawi Predators you have, now I have a question, which small predator or medium sized predator would you Sudjuest or recommend me to have that would eat surface dwellers such a mosquito fish? These guys are multiplying the cichlid POND! And I get TIRED of seeing them, I would rather watch the Bengal Danios at the surface than the mosquito fish …smh, I need a predator in the cichlid pond that would control the mosquito fish 😎
