hi

oh, i have to say that they like the caves. my two biggest males have their own private caves. *g* they never leave it. the smaller ones often change the caves.

hi

on the left side is a special construction. it is a breeding tank out of glass on a special substructure out of glass, too. becuase it is not possible to hang up the small breeding tank at the top. the power head is just between the stilts.

the tank has 200 liters. 1m x 0,4m x 0,5m
Kind Regards
Christian

hi eve,

my alpha is very dominant, he had 3 spawns in the same cave, the third at the bottom from the left. i just had only 3 spawns. but they prefer both levels. in the picture you can see my second biggest male lying in a cave on the higher level.
Kind Regards
Christian
