These fishes are very aggressive to each other. You
should keep them in a rather large aquarium, otherwise they
can fight till death. They are very territorial.
The strongest man has the most intensive colours. The
aquarium should be set up with a fine sandy substrate and a
lot of fine leaved plants, because they need hiding places.
They like a lot of light and a regular changing of the water
is necessary. You should give them a variety of small live food and some algae. Dry food is accepted as well. Breeding is easy. The eggs are laid and fertilized in a mop daily. You should remove the eggs to another small tank. After 8-10 days the eggs hatch. When the young fishes are swimming free you can raise them with baby brine shrimp. |
