During Spawning the dominant male will allow the female to enter his territory. After spawning has taken place she will then join the other females. Feed juveniles baby brine shrimp. |
| Comments: |
Mine is kept alone in a 20 gallon tank. Loves to
pull plants out of gravel and take them elsewhere. Also
enjoys grabbing gravel in its mouth and spitting it out in
the corners (bedding). I haven't been successful breeding him because of his aggressive behavior. |
