|
| Up Keep: |
Recommend a spacious aquarium with plenty of caves and hiding places. Minimum tank size of 50 Gal. is best. |
| Breeding: |
Males can get very aggressive. Moving the female while brooding is a good idea if the male will not stop bothering her. Having several females to one male will help divide up the attention of the male. |
| Comments: |
This is a popular Lake Malawi Cichlid. They are extreamly
aggressive and should not be kept with smaller more timid
fish. A minimum tank size of 50 Gal. is recommended and it
is best to keep one male and several females. They will mix
with other aggressive Lake Malawi Cichlids. |
