Hop to next section Husbandry Information
Feeding Adapts well to dried food over live or frozen mosquito larvae and cyclops. User data.
Furniture Sand on the bottom so the fishes are able to dig themselves into the substrate. When feeding they filter through the substrate and so the size off the substrate should be very fine.
Suggested Tankmates Peaceful fishes such as smaller Characins.
Breeding One of the fishes, probably the male, carries the eggs on the lip barbels and under the stomach. The color of the eggs are grey and they turn progressively darker after 4-5 days. After a week the fry hatch. They are rather big, about 4 mm and will eat artemia eggs and granulated dried food from the start. About 20-25 eggs are laid. Breeding was accomplished in hard tap water 20 dh. and pH 7.5.
