Housing & compatibility

Leave open space between shelters. In a larger tank, choose sturdy fish with similar water needs. Separate a breeding pair if it starts driving other fish away.

Diet

Choose a complete cichlid food such as Hikari Sinking Cichlid Gold if the size and formula suit the fish. Vary it with appropriate frozen food and plant matter.
