That's pretty neat. The SAE's I had did torment my cacatuoides and some discus
fry as well, but they DID focus on the filamentosus, so you may be right about
them resembling pathetic SAEs. I had a pair of spawning nijsseni that wanted to
kill my little trio of panda cories, but wouldn't touch my C. hestatus (or
maybe they were hebrosis?). I often wondered if it was the big blotch on
their side
(made 'em look like female nijsseni?).
