BSWG 97/17 | | Water conditions: Very soft and acidic | Water temperature: 16-19oC | | Disposition: Somewhat aggresive on occasions | Community tank?: Never | | Spawning Method: Long term (fry appear with adults) | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Difficult | | Sucess: Very sucessful | Years Experience: | | Other Comments: This is a very productive species. When kept in very soft and acid conditions with temperatures just below 20 C they do very well.
When food is plentyfull lots of fry can be collected from the tank each day, they gather just below the water surface.
A rather dull species, that is easily neglected, and then you loose it!
