Diet & Nutrition: An omnivore; feed a high-quality diet of pelleted or flaked food every day. You can offer the fish boiled potatoes and other vegetables, as well as beef heart occasionally. Bloodworms and brine shrimp in either live or frozen form can be fed as a treat.

Breeding: This species is quite easy to breed, although you do need a super-sized fish tank to be successful. They are egg layers. Males build a bubble nest and try to initiate spawning. Females should be removed after spawning and the male will tend to the eggs until they hatch.

Gender: Male has a longer and more pointed anal and dorsal fin than the female. The finnage on the female fish is rounder, and their lips are often thicker than those of the male. Mature male specimens develop a large “nuchal hump” on their foreheads.
