Location code:
Ceramica MT 03-2 | | Water conditions: Moderately hard and alkaline | Water temperature: 24-27oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Never | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy | Breeding difficulty: Difficult | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 5 | | Other Comments: This species can be aggressive, and I find they do better in fairly bare tanks with no obvious terrotories, but also subdued light. This reduces the males ability to display, and provides dark corners for the females to lurk in. Reduces aggression all round. | | Date this record created: 16th October 2004 | Breeding date: 16th October 2004 | | Breeder: Jules | Location: UK |

Location code:
Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Moderately hard and alkaline | Water temperature: 24-27oC | | Disposition: Very aggressive | Community tank?: Never | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems:
Poor fry survival rate | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Difficult | | Sucess: Average | Years Experience: 2 | | Other Comments: Very aggresive males to everyone and even females to females.
Found by chance, that the aggresive tendencies are reduced if the fish are kept in dim light.
Growth very fast and will eat most foods. | | Date this record created: 25th August 2002 | Breeding date: 15th May 2002 | | Breeder: Paul Cartet | Location: N. Lincs, UK |
