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. The substrate should be dark to
bring out the colours of this fish. You should give them small live food like waterflees and small insect larvae. Breeding is not easy. The water should be soft and acid. Up to 120 eggs are laid and fertilized in a cave. The female takes care of the fry and the male defends the territory. When the young are swimming free both parents take care of the them. You can feed them with baby brine shrimp. |
