The aquarium where you keep this fish should be large
enough, because when the aquarium is too small they become
more aggressive. The aquarium should be set up with
lot of stone and rocks that form caves and crevices.
The rocks should be firmly anchored. Some hard plants can be
used for decoration as well. You should keep one male with
several females. You can keep them together with other
cichlids of the same size.
They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Now and then you should give them some carotene, otherwise the male looses his yellow color. Breeding is not difficult. Up to 50 eggs are laid on a flat stone. Immediately after that the female takes the eggs in her mouth. They are fertilized by the male using the dummy egg method. After 3 weeks the young fishes leave the mouth of the mother. |
