Peaceful, somewhat reserved fish that defends a small
territory. The aquarium should be set up with stones,
driftwood and roots. Some hard plants can be used for
decoration as well. It is wise to keep this fish at
lower temperatures of about 15°C (60°F) during a few months
each year. A powerful filter is necessary. They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is not easy. About 30 eggs are laid and fertilized. The female cares for the eggs. After hatching the female takes the eggs in her mouth. After 10-12 days the young fishes are swimming free. You can raise them with baby brine shrimp. |
