This fish can be a pain in the you know what! However, they make excellent parents. After breeding the male will form a big bump on his head, and although this cichlid has a small mouth but still will try to devour small fish.

This fish grows very fast and is a picky eater. This fish will fight for its territory so make sure tankmates can defend themselves. I recommend this fish to others and is very beautiful when happy.
