Males of this species are very aggressive to each other,
especially during breeding time. You should keep them
as a pair. During breeding time a territory is made.
The aquarium should be decorated with a substrate of fine
gravel and a lot of rocks and stones on the sides and
background that form caves and crevices. In the middle you
should leave a lot of free swimming space. Some hard
plants can be used for decoration as well. A weekly
changing of the water is necessary. You should give them live food such as insect larvae and shrimp. Dry food is accepted as well. Breeding is not difficult. The eggs are laid and fertilized between snail shells. Both parents care fore the fry and defend it. After hatching the young are brought into the shells. You can feed them with baby brine shrimp. |
