Relative peaceful fish. Only in breeding times they
are very intolerant to other species. He has a very
large territory that is defended very fanatic. The
aquarium should be set up with plants, driftwood and roots
that create hiding places. The sometimes dig in the
substrate so the plants should be anchored. When you
buy import-fish it is wise to add some salt to the water.
(1 thee-spoon at 5 liters of water)
You should give them small live food. Dry food is accepted as well. Breeding is easy. 50-100 eggs are laid and fertilized in a cave. The female cares for the eggs and the larvae, the male defends the territory. When the young fishes appear both parents care for them. They can be raised with baby brine shrimp. |
