Predatory fish that is very intolerant to species of their
own kind. He is only suited for a very large public
aquarium in a zoo for instance. They only can be kept
together with fishes of the same size because smaller fish
are eaten, they think it is food. The aquarium should
have enough free swimming space in the upper water
layers. You should cover the aquarium very well
because they are good jumpers. Some hard plants can be
used for decoration. You should give them live food such as fish. Breeding has succeeded in a very large aquarium a couple of times. In the aquarium at home it is almost impossible. They are mouthbreeders. The female takes the large eggs in her mouth. After 6-8 weeks the young fishes leave the mouth of the mother. Then they already have a length of 9 cm (3.5"). |
