what am I

I lurke in the depth of caves,Im a chamelon of the water. Im a preener of cat fish in discise. I am his wolf in sheeps clothing. Im sly,sneekey and can change color in a split second. I am small but my attitude is tall.

About this poem:
The bumblebee cichlid is a fish that lives in deep caves and cleans parasites off the cat fish,when it is in a yellow and brown striped coloration, when the cat fish spawns and lays eggs this little fish changes to a dark brown and steels the cat fishs eggs. when he is cought he quickly changes color back to the yellow and brown stripes as the cat fish reconizes this color as the friend.

There are some neat animals out there. This ones seems to be beneficial more than a parasite. I'm sure there are enough eggs laid so that a few survive getting eaten by this clever fish.teddybear happy valentines day

Good write my dear..Doesn't it relate a little bit to our human negative trait? A wold in a sheepskin clothing?

Be careful my friend. By the way here in Washington and leaving Monday.\\Love you my friend.
