Subj : Water Change & Spunky Males

Today I conducted about a 35% water change. As usual, the males became all
excited -- and more aggressive with each other -- as a result of the fresh
water, and the simulated waterfalls from the two Penguin Bio-Wheel filters,
which form when the water level drops. I suspect that between the fresh
water, the water spilling over the filters, and the richer oxygen level, the
mbunas may think that it is raining, which -- from what I've read -- does
help to stimulate spawning in some fish species.

The two youngest fry are doing quite well, and are already beginning to
acquire some color. As they continue to grow, they are becoming bolder, and
are taking more chances out in the open.

Junior is likewise doing well, and has grown substantially in recent weeks.

Mama continues to incubate her fourth spawn. Occasionally she darts out into
the open, only to disappear again.
