A new paper by Tetsumi Takahashi, Haruki Ochi, Masanori Kohda and Michio Hori has been published in the electronic magazine Biological Letters, showing that in the Lake Tanganyika school forming cichlid Microdontochromis rotundiventralis, whose schools are comprised by both mouth-brooding and non mouth-brooding individuals, it is more likely that the biological father holds larger fry passed by the female, which shows that the pair bond is maintained by this species at least until that point in the school, without apparent physical proximity of the pair.
