Comments

This is a challenging fish. Requires soft water to thrive. Recommend multiple hiding places for adults. Spawned under a 12"x12" tile at one end of the tank. Once they spawn parents take good care of the fry. Be sure to remove the fry by 1.5" or they will be picked on by adults. Either hardness or pH effects sex ratio. I got mostly females. I suspect lower pH will result in more males. Super cool fish worth working with.
