Breeding

Easy fish to breed, perfect for beginners. 1 pair can be put in a tank 60x25x25cm. Juts make a cave or two and use correct
temps and they will do the rest. (more fry will survive if male is removed)But can become very aggresive and kill fish bigger
than themselves or pick fight with fish that are sure to kill them
