This fish is rather aggressive. You can not keep them
with smaller fish. You should set up the aquarium with
stones and driftwood because you need a lot of hiding places.
Plants cannot be used as a decoration. A powerful
filter and a frequent changing of the water is necessary. They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live and frozen food. They are very greedy. Breeding is rather easy. 600 - 700 eggs are laid on a substrate and fertilized. The female takes care after the eggs while the male guards the territory. After 3 days the eggs hatch and the fry will be transported to a pit. Another 5 - 7 days the young fishes are swimming on their own. You can feed them with new hatched baby brine shrimp. Sometimes the fry feed on a milky secretion produced by gland cells in the parents skin.
