Peaceful dwarfcichlid, only the male is sometimes aggressive
to females that don't want to mate. 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 have their own
small territory and 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 such as Cyclops, Artemia or small insect larvae. Frozen and dry food are accepted as well. Breeding is possible if the water quality is right. The water should be soft and acid. The eggs are laid and fertilized in a cave. The male defends the territory. The female takes care for the fry. When the young fishes are swimming free you can feed them with baby brine shrimp. Then the male is allowed by the female in the neighbourhood of the young again. |
