Peaceful, lively cichlid that can be kept together with
other peaceful cichlids from Lake Malawi. The aquarium
should be set up on the sides and background with a lot of
rocks that form caves and crevices. You should leave
enough free swimming space. A territory is made.
The substrate should be sandy. Some low, hard plants
can be used for decoration. You should keep one male
together with several females.
You should give small, live food. Frozen ans dry food are accepted as well. Breeding is rather easy. Up to 50 eggs are laid and fertilized. Immediately after that the female takes the eggs in her mouth. After 3 week the young fishes leave the mouth of the mother for the first time. You can raise the young fishes with baby brine shrimp and fine crushed dry food. |
