Convict Cichlid Larva
Amatitlania nigrofasciata (larva)
Newly hatched larvae remain close to the bottom in shallow, sheltered freshwater areas such as rocky margins and submerged cavities. They wriggle among gravel and crevices, relying first on their yolk reserve before taking tiny aquatic organisms. A larva is often guarded closely by its parents during this vulnerable stage.
