As a former owner of African Cichlids I can confirm that Darwin plays a key role in Cichlid society. The strong murdered the weak and buried their body under the castle until there were only a few left. They also manipulated the gravel in the tank creating hills and valleys to their liking.


Sounds like human society. Makes you wonder whether or not we are just play things in a 'fish tank'?


You could argue that's exactly what we are, unless you're rich enough to be the ones who control the conditions the rest are kept in.
