At least one species of African cichlid I know of develops multi-generational parental instincts, with the young of one hatching helping to protect the next. It's amusing to watch "Mom and Dad" get frustrated trying to keep all their young in one place; it makes one realize that some things are universal. :) I keep tropical fish, and parental behavior is pretty common, especially among the cichlid species.

It impacts many people. Hopefully someone remembers someone who had these fish in an aquarium and turns them in.Ordinary sunfish protect the area they lay their eggs until they hatch and then some. You can watch them in the spring running off much bigger fish. Releasing non-native fish is a form of terrorism. It impacts many people.
