Very aggressive fish that needs a lot of space. You
only can keep them together with other fishes that are large
enough. The aquarium should be set up with rocks that
form caves and hiding places. A territory is made.
The substrate should be sandy because they search for food
in the substrate. You should keep one male together
with several females. Aggression during breeding time
can be divided in that way.
You should give them large, live food such as shrimp and small fishes. A part of the food should be vegetable. Frozen food is accepted as well. Breeding is rather easy. 20-50 eggs are laid and fertilized. Immediately after that the female takes the eggs in her mouth. After about 3 weeks the young fishes leave the mouth of the mother. The young fishes can be raised with baby brine shrimp. C. Horei is a popular hostess for the eggs of Synodontis multipunctatus. |
