You can keep this fish as a couple in a community aquarium.
He is peaceful to other fishes. Those fishes should be
large enough, because small fishes are eaten. The
aquarium should be planted densely because they need hiding
places. The light should be dimmed by using floating
plants. They appreciate a strong current. It is
recommended to change a large part of the water regularly. You should give them live food. Breeding is rather easy. Up to 100 eggs are laid and fertilized. After that the male takes the eggs in his mouth. He keeps them for 1-2 weeks. Young fishes can be fed with infusoria and later with baby brine shrimp. |
