M is for Maingano cichlids!
This week's theme was "Fish starting with the first letter of your name". There are so many M cichlids, but the bright stripes on Maingano are definitely a standout. This is a male, identifiable by yellow egg spots on it's anal fin!

The long spined porcupinefish can of course inflate itself and its neurotoxin-tipped spines as a means of warding off predators. However, it is also sometimes known to use its inflation technique to wedge itself into crevices when it rests!

Childcare can be tough no matter your species - just ask the mouthbrooding cichlid moms!

Females of several cichlid species hold their developing young inside their mouths until they hatch, making feeding impossible - so Mom may go without eating for weeks

For a giant African threadfin. It is the best threadfin because it's modifiers are the word "giant" and a continent. Also very large specimens are only found in marine waters.
