This cichlid should be kept together with other fishes of
about the same size. He needs a lot of free swimming
space. Because he digs a lot in the substrate it is
not wise to use plants for decoration. The aquarium
should be set up with driftwood and roots to make a lot of
hiding places. You should give them powerful food such as beef heart and mussels. Breeding is rather easy. They have a large nest. After 4 days the eggs hatch and another 4-6 days later the young fishes are swimming free. Both parents care for the fry very intensive. |
