Peaceful fish for the community aquarium. The aquarium
should be heavily planted on the sides and background. In
the middle you should leave much free swimming space. A cover
of floating plants is necessary to provide a refuge for
young.
The fish is omnivorous, so you should provide a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is very easy. The fish is viviparous. Every 2-4 weeks 20-60 young fishes are born. To prevent cannibalism there should be enough hiding places between the roofs of floating plants. You can feed the young fishes with fine dry food. |
