Default The Black Flowerhorns are Mouthbrooding.

I thought I was going nuts the first two time the fry disappeared and reappeared, however this morning I caught the female in the act. I turn the light on and no fry to be seen anywhere. Then he came out from the back of the tank, opened her mouth and expelled at least a 100 fry on to the cleaned glasss surface. Now they are all back. I have never hearded of mouthbrooding in Flowerhorns.

"Images of Mouthbrooding Flowerhorns" does show a few doing the same type of thing.
