Gabon cichlid DNZ - Hemichromis spec. Gabon

The from West Africa originating Gabon Cichlid is a wonderful fish, whose color splendor is hard to beat. Due to their interesting behavior, they are very entertaining fish, and can one even the boredom away. They form a family father and mother take care of the young together, which is always fascinating to watch . The males grow up to 12cm, the females only 8cm. The male is usually larger and stronger the female, however, has a rather round belly and a more intense coloring. The Gabon cichlid is an omnivore and therefore does not have great expectations. However, you can spoil it with live food such as red mosquito larvae or frozen food. A good alternative to this is Chichfeed from Natureholic they love this !

In larger aquariums it tends to be a quiet fish with others of its kind . However, he can be a bit of a hothead at times during brood care. It is recommended to keep him in a small group of 5-8 animals. In a harmonious group breeding is relatively easy. They lay partly clutches of about 500-800 eggs. The female takes care of the brood the male defends the territory.

You can get this cichlid in different sexes depending on availability.
