 "Crenicichla" species are stealth-predators that lunge from concealment at passing small fish, while "Rhamphochromis" species are open-water pursuit predators that chase down their prey.Paedophagous cichlids such as the "Caprichromis" species eat other species' eggs or young, in some cases ramming the heads of mouthbrooding species to force them to disgorge their young.Among the more unusual feeding strategies are those of "Corematodus", "Docimodus evelynae", "Plecodus", "Perissodus", and "Genyochromis" spp., which feed on scales and fins of other fishes, a behavior known as lepidophagy, along with the death-mimicking behaviour of "Nimbochromis" and "Parachromis" species, which lay motionless, luring small fish to their side prior to ambush.
