A relatively quiet, peaceful fish which builds a territory.
The aquarium should be set up with stones and driftwood. As a
result you become caves. However, sufficiently free swimming
space should be left. A frequent changing of the water is necessary. You should give the fish rather large living food. After a period other food as big shrimps will be accepted. Breeding is not too difficult. Some hundreds of eggs are laid in a cave. The female looks after the eggs in the cave, as the male defends the surroundings. After 3 days the eggs hatch and another 3 days later the young are swimming free. Both parents care for the fry. You can feed the young with baby brine shrimp. The fry are abandoned by their parents at 8-12 mm , but sometimes may continue to stay near the nest and use it for escape in the absence of the parents. |
