Somewhat shy fish that is rather aggressive to species of
their own kind and during breeding times to other species as
well. The aquarium should be large enough and set up
with plants, driftwood and roots that create a lot of hiding
places and holes. A territory is made. Sometimes
they dig in the substrate, so plants should be anchored.
You should give them live food primarily. Don't give them Tubifex. Breeding is not easy. Up to 50 eggs are laid in a cave. The female cares for the eggs and the larvae. The male defends the territory very fanatic. After 12 days the young fishes appear for the first time. From that moment the male cares for the young as well. They can be raised with baby brine shrimp. |
