Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Moderately soft and acidic | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Doubtful, only with VERY calm fish | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Somewhat female heavy | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly unsucessful | Years Experience: 3 | | Other Comments: This fish is easy to breed yet I have lost it on two occastions. The fish isn't so easy that you just have to sit back and relax. They need some work. The eggs eye up in less than 3 months and don't last very long in the peat. Other than that there are no problems. The fry grow very fast.
They are sensitive to over crowding and bacterial infections.
They will eat anything including flake food.
I like keeping them in a well lit tank. | | Date this record created: 1st November 2002 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: Tyrone Genade | Location: South Africa |
