They do not reach sexual maturity until they are 2 years old. | + | |tank_compatibility=:These fish are best kept in shoals of around 6 or more to avoid aggression and allow pairs to form. Best kept in species tanks with an intention to breed this rare cichlid. Can be kept, however, with similar sized sturdy catfish or other Madagascan cichlids. |

Keep in a tank decorated with river-worn boulders and bogwood for cover. These fish are very sensitive to water quality issues and large water changes of 30%-50% should be performed weekly. |
