You must keep these fish as a pair. They are peaceful
to other fishes except in breeding time. You should set up the aquarium with some driftwood and some big plants that
are well potted, because the fish burrow in the substrate.
There should be a deep substrate of fine sand. You should feed them big live food like worms or fish. Breeding is easy. 1000-2000 eggs are laid on a previously cleaned stone. Both parents take care of the fry. When they are hatched the fry is moved to a pit. When they are swimming free you can feed the young fishes with baby brine shrimp and small cyclops. |
