Enjoys plenty of live foods. Will also eat algae and vegetable supplements. |

| Up Keep: |
Needs caves and roots for hiding places. Floating plants for cover are also prefered. |

Raise water temperature up to 28 C. The female will lay her eggs on a cleaned rock. Both parents will guard and care for the fry. |
| Comments: |
These fish are aggressive and tough. I do not recommend any
tankmate that is smaller or can not take care of its own. My
Brother kept one of these in with a couple of Oscars and it
seemed to do alright. If I was to own these guys I would get
a pair and they would have their own tank. |
