Apparently since there have been cichlids and upside-down catfish together in 
East African lakes. It's called a cuckoo catfish, and it lays eggs among the 
cichlid eggs. The catfish eggs hatch first and proceed to eat the cichlid 
eggs, resulting in a few fry catfish, instead of many fry cichlids, peeking 
out of the mother cichlid's mouth.
