Description
This up to 12 cm long cichlids have no external sex differences, the males are larger and have longer pelvic fins than females. The latter show as an adult on the back often have white spots. In Rock Artaquarium without plants, but with many through caves, these cichlids are well housed. They are kept in pairs or in groups over medium grade sand, then proceed with the mouthbrooders mother family and procreation. Interesting is the age-related change of color: Only the juveniles have white spots on a dark background, which later disappear. Then a vertical yellow or white body is formed as a band drawing.
