Amia calva - Early Development and Male Parenting Behavior
"The male bowfin prepares a nest in shallow, vegetated waters. The nest is simply a clearing in the vegetation made by biting off roots...The male guards his nest very aggressivly...When hatchlings begin to swim the male guards them as well. The juveniles swim in schools guarded by the male until they reach four inches in length."
