Egg-spots. Its a breeding mechanism. An African cichlid keeper could explain it better than I can, I'm sure.

Is that the way they get the eggs fertilized in the female's mouth?

sylvia · Dec 12, 2004

Yeah... the female thinks they are eggs and goes to collect them at which point the male fertilises the eggs she already has in her mouth.

Purppose of egg spots. I'm not trying to hijack

Thanks for the link. I have already research it, just never seen it. Those old books I have read never have pictures when you need 'em.

Yeah, sorry about the hijacking.
