Peaceful, somewhat shy fish that can be kept together with
other peaceful fishes. They are rather aggressive to
other Epiplatys. The aquarium should be planted
densely because they need hiding places. A dark
substrate and a dimmed light by using floating plants are
appreciated. They are very sensitive for pollution.
A regular changing of the water is necessary. You should give them small live food. They like to eat small flies from the water surface. Breeding is not easy. The eggs are laid and fertilized in a spawning mop. You should remove the eggs regularly and move them to a separate breeding dish with a remedy against fungus. After about 14 days the eggs hatch. You should feed the young fishes small infusoria and a few days later baby brine shrimp. The young are very sensitive for pollution and they grow slowly. |
