These fish will tolerate a wide range of water parameters and can tolerate both acidic and alkaline conditions.

They do well in small groups but, like most cichlids, may show aggression should a pair develop and decide to spawn.\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e \nCan be kept with live plants and may actually use the leaves of broad leafed plants as a spawning site.
