Fry Care - Fry need to separated from the adults, they can be started on baby brine shrimp and/or microworms.

Bascic Care - An extremely colorful species. The pictures don't begin to show the true coloration. Males and females are colorful, males have a distinguishing hump on their head and most females have a black line accross the bottom of their lower fin. Not too picky about food, and not overly aggressive, although they do a lot of fin flaring and mock fighting. This is a very beautiful and attention getting fish. They stay mainly around the bottom of the tank.
