Pangopènan lan perawatan, susunan akuarium

The optimal size of an aquarium for one or two starts from 80 liters. Not demanding on design, able to adapt to different environments. If breeding is planned, then it will be necessary to provide places for shelters in the form of caves, grottoes, crevices.

The wide natural habitat makes it possible to keep Cryptocherus both in soft slightly acidic water and in conditions of elevated carbonate hardness. The fish needs clean, unclouded water. Sudden temperature changes, rapid changes in the values ​​of hydrochemical indicators and the accumulation of dangerous concentrations of nitrogen cycle products should not be allowed. To do this, the aquarium is equipped with the necessary equipment and regular maintenance is carried out, which includes at least a weekly replacement of part of the water with fresh and timely removal of organic waste (uneaten food residues, excrement, etc.)

Prilaku lan Kompatibilitas

During the spawning period, they may show some aggression, which is explained by the desire to protect their offspring. Otherwise, it is a peaceful calm fish. It gets along well both with its relatives and with representatives of other species.

Breeding / breeding

With the onset of the mating season, the male and female form a temporary pair and occupy a site at the bottom of the aquarium around a shelter, such as a cave. It is worth remembering that if the group of yellow cichlases is large enough, then several pairs can form, and each will require its own site. With a lack of space between males, skirmishes will inevitably begin.

You can determine the approach of imminent spawning by color. During courtship, the fish become bright yellow. The female lays about 200 eggs. The incubation period lasts 3-4 days, after another week the fry that have appeared begin to swim freely. All this time, the female is in close proximity to the clutch, and the male “patrols” the territory, protecting his offspring.
