I don't know. That explanation seems plausible especially given how SEAsian
river fish behave given the option of a current. You have to be a pretty
hard-core cichlidiot to keep track of all the different P.zebra strains. But I
raised Cyrtocara moori for several years and some of them (with no
distinguishing basis that I could determine) exhibited the same behavior. Most
did not. For my fish, it seemed to be a personality issue, rather than a
species behavior.

I don't know. I think I read about it in Science News, which I used to get,
but didn't follow up on the actual report.
