If you would've asked me this question years ago I probably could have answered it. I think I must have had every kind of fish known to man and knew everything about them to boot. That was years ago, though, and unfortunately old age has taken my memory..LOL! I do hope someone comes along that can answer your questions on this particular type of fish. I'm curious to know myself.

Toolshed would probably be a good one to answer this question for you.

Savanna:)

From what I can remember, slightly acidic water helps with the breeding. You do need to have the tank set up as close to natural habitat that they are used to.

That is about the end of my knowledge of these fascinating creatures.
