Simply, the fish are polygamous mouth brooders, with the female holding the eggs and fry in the mouth for about three / four weeks. After release, the fry are independent and can be fed with dust food, newly hatched brine shrimp or crushed flakes. Soon they can also handle cyclops. Young fish are not safe for the parents – if one wants to keep a nest, the female will have to be set aside after two weeks of brooding. After hatching, the parent fish will have to be removed from the young fish fairly quickly. They grow quite quickly (about an inch per month).
