[BIG_ONE]

Tank size?

Tank Size 300l (~75g)
they are fresh water(ph above 8 preferred)
In their natural environment they eat Zooplankton
As far as breeding goes they are maternal mouthbrooders, males defend territories on top of rocks or build sand cones. Spawning takes place regularly but females are reluctant to carry brood to term. Broods generally number 20. I would not keep them in a species only tank as any other fish will nip at their fins. Most of this info is from ad konings so should be trusted.

misspelled the name, but a google search is a great place to start. Here is a profile I found after correcting the spelling. I hope this is the fish you were looking for. If not please correct me, so I can try again.
