Peaceful dwarfcichlid that can be kept in a community
aquarium together with other small peaceful fishes, but you
can better keep them in an aquarium that is set up
especially for dwarfcichlids. A male forms a harem and as a
result, should be kept in a ration of one male to every
three or four females. Males defend a large territory in
which several females may guard their own brood. The
aquarium should be set up with stones, driftwood and roots,
and on the sides and background densely planted, because
they need hiding places. You should feed them live food. They barely accept dry food. Breeding is not difficult. Up to 70 eggs are laid in a
cave and fertilized. The female takes care of the fry and
the male defends the territory. After hatching the young
fishes are moved to a pit by the female. When they are
swimming free you can feed them with baby brine shrimp. |
