This fish is mostly peaceful. Only during breeding
time when he makes a bubble nest or defends his fry, the
male is very aggressive and he can kill other fish.
The aquarium should be densely planted because it is
absolutely necessary that there are hiding places. He is omnivorous, but you should give them live insects regularly. Breeding is easy. The water should be soft and acid (Gh and Ph < 6). The male puts the fertilized eggs in the bubble nest and he defends the fry. The female should be removed after spawning. After 1 day the eggs hatch and after 3 days the young fishes are swimming free. At that moment the male should be removed as well. You can raise the young fishes with fine infusoria and a few days later with Artemia-nauplii. |
