✂️ Care

Provide plenty of hiding places in the form of caves, pots, or tubes — as a cave spawner, this cichlid needs these for breeding. Keep as a pair or harem in a calm, planted aquarium with gentle filtration, to avoid strong currents. Soft, slightly acidic water brings out the colors best.

Combine with calm, peaceful fish species that do not compete for the same territory. Avoid overly busy aquariums with many other bottom dwellers.
