| That's cool! But those catfish played dirty! And that is really sad they way the mother can't recognise the enemies from her young  . Thanks for sharing. It was great!

| Interesting. kind of weird that they take care of the catfishes even though they are troublesome to them. | |

| I wonder why they can't tell the difference. I wonder what type of catfish they are? | |

catfishlover, they look like a species of Synodontis Catifish. They are native to Lake Tanganyika | |

| Cool Video! Thanks for sharing
These are mouth brooding cichlids. Not all cichlids are mouthbrooders. The catfish is Synodontis multipunctatus commonly known as the Cuckoo catfish. Named after the cuckoo bird who lay their eggs in other birds nests and let other birds raise their young.

| Nature at work. I can't believe she doesn't see the difference in her kind's offspring and the catfish's offspring. The catfish certainly did hijack mother nature's plan. | |

| To anyone who's interested I have "obtained" a copy of this National Geographic video Jewels of the rift! If anyone would like to see it maybe I could e-mail it too you, it's about an hour long.
