You should keep this peaceful fish in a large school of at
least 10 fish together with other peaceful fish.. The
aquarium should be set up with rocks and stones that form
caves and crevices. Hard plants can be used for decoration
as well. In the middle you should leave enough free
swimming space. The light should be dimmed because too
much light makes them shy. You should give them small live food such as Artemia and Cyclops. Frozen and dry food is accepted as well. Breeding is not difficult. The eggs are laid near by a vertical rock. After that the male produces a continuous stream of sperm in the direction of the female, thus fertilising the eggs. The female takes the eggs in her mouth for about 3 weeks. After that period the young fish leave the mouth of the mother. You can feed them with baby brine shrimp. |
