kaCampbell Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi, I'm curious about whether or not a bonded pair of Apistogramma Cacatuoides could be broken up by another dominant male? And if so, would that male and female then proceed to potentially bond and spawn? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Yes, pair bonding in aquarium fish is is about as strong as it is in humans. That is, it is breakable. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Really breakable in some fish. Bristlenose pleco males will woo other females sometimes while they're still guarding and caring for the eggs of the first female. It's not unheard of for them to be guarding multiple clutches of eggs from multiple females. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Eagles are also thought of as being bonded for life. Yet watching the DC eagle cam shows otherwise. Mr. P. was caught on tape with a rogue female, who even eyed his and TFL's long time nest! So apparently eagles also bond much like humans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
