Disposition: Very aggressive Community tank?: Never
Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrateBreeding problems: none
Sex ratio: Roughly equalBreeding difficulty: Very difficult

Other Comments: Need Large tank. Must be feed twice each day. Need a lot of time from the breeder to prepare large quantities of food, siphon large quantities of waste and replace a lot of water. Need a small tank of 20 - 30 L. filled with mixed peat (medium-powder and fiber) for breeding. Add Gambusia Affinnis for feeding is spectacular and specially good for adults health.
