6.0" |

Females have orange scales on the lower bodies. |
| Feeding: |
Feed a variety of live foods, flakes and algae. |

Territorial and not good for a community aquarium. |

| Up Keep: |
Needs places for hiding and a gravel bottom. |
| Breeding: |
Will spawn in a cave. They are very easy too breed and great for first time breeders. Both parents will take care of the fry. |
| Comments: |
These fish are very hardy. They make a good beginner fish.
They are very aggressive and don't do well in a community
tank. I suggest getting a pair for a 20 gal. tank and
trying to breed them. They are very easy to breed and both
parents take care of the fry. |
