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 give them small live food. Breeding is not easy. Up to 200 eggs are laid and fertilized in a cave. The female takes care of the fry. When the young fishes are swimming free you can feed them with fine infusoria and later with baby brine shrimp. |
