This fish needs a lot of free swimming space. The aquarium
should be set up with stones and rocks to create crevices
and caves because females with eggs need hiding places. Some
flat stones for spawning are necessary. They are very
sensitive for nitrates. A regular large changing of
the water and a powerful filter are necessary.
They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is easy. Immediately after spawning the female takes the eggs in her mouth. She retires between the rocks. After 3 weeks the young fishes are released. The female takes care for them a few days more. You can raise them with baby brine shrimp. |
