Breeding in captivity is possible, but aggression increases during spawning. Both parents will defend the eggs and fry. 🤝 Tank Mates (with Caution) Choose tank mates that are: Large enough not to be eaten Tough enough to withstand mild aggression Not overly aggressive themselves Suitable tank mates: Severum Cichlids Silver Dollars Large Plecos Firemouths Jack Dempseys (if tank is big enough)
