CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE CICHLA KIND
If you could turn into a fish, which one would you choose to be? My first thought was an Altum Angelfish because it is one of my favorite fish but then I stopped and actually took the time to analyze this a bit better. Altum are extremely threatened in the wild, so it is not a good choice. Even though I also love Cardinal Tetras I definitely did not want to be one of those small fish that get eaten by most of the others; I definitely wanted to be on the top of the food chain. Next, I thought of piranhas, no, they sometimes eat carrion which normally gives me indigestion. Then, I thought wolf fish, no too aggressive to be me. What about an electrical eel? No, to electriky… Then, I thought of Cichla, hmmmm, which I could not find a con about, all pros.
