Hello Mark. It's nice to finally see someone else posting in this echo. Carol
was keeping me company for a while, but either got too busy, or maybe bored
with my mbuna tales.  Sadly, it seems that I am about the only one who is
interested in trying to keep this echo alive. I've been trying to post in it
about as regularly as I can.

Regarding your observation, well, if what you are saying were true, then I
would think that my Copadichromis borleyi would have reacted in the same way,
but they didn't. Those fish slaughtered all of the fry, whereas my mbunas
haven't . . . at least not yet. I checked this morning, and I can still see
some of the little guys hovering in their same spots as yesterday. I doubt
that I will ever be able to see and count all 10-12 of them, or however many
she had, because there are simply too many hiding places.

As usual, I'll keep everyone posted regarding how this latest spawn fares.
