Maintain a group of these comrades from at least 80 cm edge length. They behave relatively quiet and do not swim very much. You can design his home with a sandy bottom and offer him great hiding places with root and stone structures. You can provide greenery with perching plants.
You can socialize the peaceful animals with other fish, but it can be that he will attack much larger fish or bottom dwellers. Breeding of the humphead cichlids is quite possible and uncomplicated, they breed in caves and care intensively for their offspring as parents. Humphead cichlids form pairs that usually last a lifetime.
Your omnivores are not fussy about food, you can feed them with commercial dry and flake food, but also granules for cichlids Every now and then you can supplement their menu with live and frozen food.
Our food recommendation: The NatureHolic Cichfeed has a grain size of 1.5 mm and is therefore also suitable for larger fish. The NH Cichfeed is a soft granulate for predominantly carnivorous fish. It has the same consistency as small crustaceans and insect larvae that fish naturally eat, and the soft granules protect the fish mouth from micro-injuries that can be caused by hard feed granules.
Our plant recommendation: For planting, use NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.
Expert Tip: We recommend when keeping fish the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.
