Peaceful and excellent community fish, only males are
sometimes territorial towards one another. Please
don't keep them together with aggressive fish, then they
become shy and lose their beautiful colors. The tank
should be well-planted on the sides and background and have a
dark gravel substrate. In the middle there should be a lot of
free swimming space. The lighting of the aquarium
should be dimmed by some floating plants to bring out the colours of this fish better. The fish is omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is not difficult. The water level should be reduced to 12 cm (5"). A very large bubblenest is build and the eggs are laid in the nest. The male guards the nest carefully. When the young fishes are swimming free you should remove the parents. You can feed them with baby brine shrimp. |
