I've got a pair now, 'Double Reds', great fun to watch him size up to his own reflection. Both great little fish, recommend them to anyone. Being moved on Fri to Juwel aquarium. Will try to buy another female soon for hareem spawning. What do you reckon Mac?
Yep, male should have a harem ( 3+ females) to avoid harrassment. 24in min tank required and densely planted, pots, rocks and cave like structures will make the fish secure. Good water, plenty live food and adult fish should breed quite easily. Mac.
