| Social Behaviour |
Territorial. |
| Remarks |
Each fish defends a a territory that has a
centrally located spawning cave. Initial confrontations are responded to by
shoving the opponent away with an open mouth. Usually the fish will then resort
to burrowing itself in the substrate which must therefore be soft. |
