[edit] Breeding
Concerning the exact mode of fertilization, there are two different versions how this takes place:
- Male fertilizes the egg, then the female puts in in her mouth
- Female puts the egg in her mouth, then sucks in the milt to fertilize the eggs
The source for this article has the first version, my book on Lake Tanganyika cichlids has the second. The second version can also be found here, the first also here (search the page for "fertil" to find the right place). All these sources look very competent, so what is the correct version? Maybe both behaviours can be found, although the second makes more sense, considering such threats as Synodontis multipunctatus. Does anyone have a source about behaviour in the wild? --Regani.de (talk) 21:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
