This fish is rather aggressive to species of their own kind.
You should keep one male together with several females.
The females live in snail shells and the males defends the
territory around the shells. The aquarium should be
set up with a lot of rocks and stones that form caves and
crevices. You can use some plants for decoration as
well. You should give them live food such as Artemia, Mysis and mosquito larvae. Breeding is not difficult. The eggs are laid and fertilized in a snail shell. During incubation the female stays in the shell and the male defends the territory. When they are swimming free the young fishes don't return to the shell anymore. You can raise them with baby brine shrimp. |
