me too, it's interesting to me.. they mean something in the cichlid world, maybe it does here too?

Looks like them cichlids in the aquarium got teeth.

thank you sir. nice observation, these extremely agressive cichlids do have sharp teeth. they are commonly referred to as the 'dogtooth cichlid'. they're a great fish to keep, as long as you don't put 2 males in one aquarium.. they'll fight to the death over breeding rights to the females.
