Peaceful dwarfcichlid that can be kept together with other
small and peaceful fishes in the upper water layers.
This 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. The male defends 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. The substrate should be dark to bring out the
colours of this fish. The fish is omnivorous, so you should give them a great variety of all kind of food. Dry food is not accepted. Breeding is not difficult. The male mates with several females. The female takes care of the young fishes very intensive and the male defends the large territory. You can feed the young with baby brine shrimp. |
