Description

This fish is very intolerant to species of their own kind, do you should keep him solitaire. When you keep them together with Discus or Angelfish they make a lot of problems. You should plant the aquarium very densely because they need hiding places.

 

Food

They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food.

 

Breeding

Although it has been bred in the aquarium, spawnings are rare because of its aggressive nature toward its own kind.
