andros,

I have bred this species numerous times. As a matter of fact, I have some new fry swimming with mom and dad right now. They require pretty soft, acidic water, but not as low of pH as I used to think. What are you values?

Great fish!

hi
my ph for these fish at the moment is 5PH and 0GH.The fish seem to be extremely active the last few days and the females seem to be hiding in the caves more often than they did last week when i got them.
