This rather peaceful fish chases species of their own kind
but they never become aggressive. The aquarium should
be set up with stones, driftwood and roots that make hiding
places. Because they eat plants it is not wise to use
plants that are too soft for decoration. They are very
sensitive for old water, so a powerful filter and a regular
changing of the water are necessary. They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. A large part of the food should be vegetable. Breeding is not easy. You need a good matching couple. The best way for a planned spawn is to raise a group of about 6 unrelated juveniles to sexual maturity and allow them to pair off. The best pair should be chosen for breeding and other pairs should be removed. The eggs are laid and fertilized on a substrate. After 3 days the eggs hatch. The parents move the larvae to a breeding pit. After another 3 days the young fishes are swimming free. They can be raised with baby brine shrimp and fine crushed spirulina. |
