Males of this species are rather aggressive to each other
and they even attack larger intruders of their
territory. You should keep one male with 3-4 females
and the aquarium should be large enough. The aquarium
should be set up with driftwood and roots and densely
planted because they need hiding places. You can keep
them with small characins so the males are busy to defend
the territory and as a result the females get less
aggression. You should give them small live food such as cyclops and mosquito larvae. Breeding is not difficult when you have the right water conditions. Up to 60 eggs are laid and fertilized in a cave. The female cares for the fry and the male defends the territory. After 2-3 days the eggs hatch and another 6 days later the young fishes are swimming free. You can raise them with baby brine shrimp. |
