  1. Quite a closeup! Posted 8 years ago
    1. Yes, it was a bit aggressive, swimming towards me, in 'attacking mode'.
      It is carrying eggs in its mouth, but not very obvious yet, I think it is relatively fresh eggs.
      I was spending a bit of time with it, hoping that it will opens it mouth or even 'spit' out the eggs to aerate it.
