Acanthochromis polyacanthus

This is a very interesting little fish. A Damsel that has breeding behaviors very similar to some African Chichlids. They are actually a monogamous fish that forms pairs that guards the eggs. Once the fry are hatched the parents guard the "babies" similarly to african chichlids. Not many marine fish actually do this. (There are some, but not many)

Here is a drawing

I like the lyretail

The colors are not amazing, but it is the behaviors that catch my interest.
