Whilst diving Nkhata bay, Kathy my dive buddy and I came across an area where there were a large amount of male Dimidiochromis kiwinge but not many females present. This footage will clearly show a Male swimming in amongst the fry (Not predating) as he swims off you can clearly see the fry try and follow him!
This footage has been shared around with my peers and to be honest we're still unsure if this behaviour has ever been documented.
We often associate fry being protected by the female! Could this be proof that males of this species also help with the upbringing of the fry?
Let me see your thoughts in the comments.
- I apologise for the lack of videos. I've had my reasons but this isn't the place to discus them. This footage was uploaded as private to be shared amongst my peers.
I currently have no means to edit and upload my videos and my laptop has died a miserable death.
Please read the video description. It will explain why there's been such a long gap in video uploads.
Thank you all

Hi Marcus. Once I sort out a new editing pc I'll resume uploaded the dive video. You'll like the full footage from this location.
Sounds great...love these vids :)
Saw a beautiful pic of your Ps Patricki online, do they always show color to that extend? How are they in general for mbuna? < am planning 180 gallon.
Very interesting. Sorry to hear about your laptop. Never fun.
I know Steve. Tried fixing it but it was like putting a plaster on a broken leg. I'll have to sort a new one out.
Hay dude I was wondering if I can use my old marine live rockin in my new african cichlids setup ?? I've been keeping it in freshwater since my tank was broken down, so rock is probably dead. Any help would be great, thanks.
long time no see your video
How are your fish doing at home?
They're all ok. Videos soon as I sort out a new laptop
I look forward to them!
What's your thoughts?
