To each other (especially males) these fishes are very
aggressive. It is recommended to keep one male with
several females. A territory is made. The
aquarium should be set up with stones and rocks that form
caves. In the middle you should leave a lot of free
swimming space. You should feed them live or frozen food. Dry food is accepted as well. A great part of the food should be vegetable. Breeding is not difficult. They are mouth brooders. When the eggs are laid the female quickly takes the eggs into her mouth. After collecting the eggs, she swims to the genital area of the male where the eggs are fertilized. After 14 days the young fishes leave the mouth of the mother. You can raise them with Artemia nauplii. |
