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. In a larger aquarium you
can keep a group of these animals. The aquarium should be set up with stones, driftwood and roots, and on the sides
and background densely planted, because they need hiding
places. They are a little bit sensitive for great changes of
the water. You should change a little bit of water more
times a week. It is not wise to keep them too long at
higher temperatures. You should give them small live food such as Artemia and small waterflees. Don't give them bloodworms. Breeding is easy. The eggs are laid and fertilized in a cave. The female takes care of the fry. When the young fishes are swimming free the female takes care of them for another 4 weeks. They can be raised with baby brine shrimp. |
