Have anybody ever kept Thorachromis brauschi? I'm looking for any input, mainly on the breeding of this beauty.

Thoracochromis brauschi
Hello Daniel,
Thoracochromis brauschi is endemic to the River Fwa in central Democratic Republic of Congo. Males grow to about 5" in aquaria and females somewhat smaller. T. brauschi is a haplochromine cichlid and spawns in typical haplochromine fashion: it is a maternal ovophilic mouthbrooder.
In the wild this species eats Vallisneria, so a heavy vegetable diet should be offered. Water parameters don't seem to be important.
Good luck!

I had these guys for a while. They seem to act like what I'll call typical "viccies". VERY pretty fish.
