| + | {{Basic fish page | ||
| + | |sexing=:Male is the larger of the pair, males have long pointed pelvic fins whereas the females are more rounded. | ||
| + | |tank_compatibility=:A territorial small bottom-dwelling Cichlid. Can be shy if kept with very boisterous active fish. Best kept with peaceful yet robust mid-top dwellers such as [[Cardinal Tetra]]s or [[Harlequin Rasbora]]s. Can also work with [[Corydora]]s and smaller [[Pleco]]s as long as there are enough caves. Will become more territorial if breeding and therefore a backup plan may need to be in place to remove tank mates! | ||
| + | |diet=:Should accept most foods including pellets as well as live/frozen food such as [[bloodworm]] or [[daphnia]]. | ||
| + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | ||
| + | |environment_specifics=:This fish requires a good footprint within a tank, at least {{gal|20}} with plenty of hiding places in [[bogwood]] and rocks. Will work in a planted tank. The tank should be well filtered but without a strong current. They do dig when breeding so the substrate is best to be fine gravel or sand. | ||
| + | |behaviour=:A mildly territorial Cichlid which is best kept in bonded pairs. | ||
| + | |identification=:There are many regional colour variations of this fish. It is a small elongated Cichlid with long dorsal and anal fins, the dorsal and anal fins have fin extensions on the male. | ||
