A fought B, B fought C and so on. Excellent! I could of told him that cichlids are of the most intellegent fish, but what really classes as intellegence? (im sure i've spelt that wrong?) are sardines more intellegent than cichlids because they group together when dolphins or tuna are trying to eat them? or do they just follow the other shiny thing? Very, very interesting tho. i do like that. james
