This peaceful dwarfcichlid 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 the fish with live or frozen food. They barely accept dry food. Breeding is not easy. The water should be very soft and acid. A regular changing of the water is necessary. Up to 80 eggs are laid and fertilized in a cave. The female cares for the fry. The male is not allowed in the neighbourhood of the nest. After a week the young fishes are swimming free. The female takes care for them for another 3 weeks. You can feed the young fishes with baby brine shrimp. |
