Males can be quite aggressive towards each other. This species appreciates a substrate of fine sand and will color up nicely on light colored sand substrate.\n\nThe breeder of this fish told me they don't like high temperatures and start getting weak in the 80's F. However, other breeders have told me they are just fine up to about 82 F, so there seems to be different experiences regarding temperature. Everyone agrees that somewhere in the 74 F to 78 F will work well.\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\nThese fish are not picky and will eat most standard aquarium fare. Ours eat well on flakes, sinking pellets, wafers, frozen, and live foods. They tend to eat near the bottom, so sinking foods are recommended. Although chiefly carnivores, rotating algae wafers and other veggies into their diet will help them live longer, healthier lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rare gem of a fish, these personable dwarf cichlids are real stunners when they color up.
