Like other freshwater fish from the rift lakes, aquarium water should be buffered to a specific pH level. For Tanganyikan Cichlids this range is 7.4 to 9.4 and several products are available to handle this requirement. When a mated pair is ready for breeding a cave should be provided. Shells are also used for homes and breeding purposes.
