Special requirements
Specific Soft Water
Requires acidic conditions with negligible carbonate hardness. RO units are recommended to achieve the soft water needed for health and breeding.
Leaf Litter Benefits
Addition of dried leaf litter provides cover, spawning sites, and a secondary food source (microbes) for fry. Alder cones can also be used.
Polygamous Harem Structure
Mature males establish larger territories and can be kept with several females. The female handles primary care of the eggs and fry.
