Care
They require hard water. Males are aggressive toward each other.keep in temperatures of 25-27C. Place rocks and sand in their tank to mimic their natural environment. The males will live in between the rocks and be aggressively defending its territory.
Breeding
They are easy to breed. The female will lay eggs and keep them in her mouth. Remove the female once you notice eggs in her mouth to prevent others disturbing her which may result in her swallowing the eggs. the female will take care of the eggs until the fries are large enough to take care of themselves. Remove the female when she releases the fries. This is as she might eat them. Males are more colourful then females and the have egg spots on the anal fin.
