One of the smaller cichlids from Lake Malawi that is rather
easy to keep. The aquarium should be set op with a lot
of rocks and stones that form caves and crevices. Plants can
be used for decoration as well. To divide aggression
is it wise to keep more males and for each male several
females. A strong filter and a regular changing of the
water (every 2 weeks about 20 %), are appreciated. They are omnivorous. A large part of the food should be vegetable. You should not give them red mosquito larvae because they easy get enteritis. Breeding is rather easy. 20-30 eggs are laid. Immediately after that the female takes the eggs in her mouth. They are fertilized by the male using the dummy egg method. After 3 week the young fishes leave the mouth of the mother and they have to care for them selves. You can raise them with baby brine shrimp and fine crushed dry food. |
