Mouthbrooder? Intersting coloration

[SCOPE]

Yes, it is a mouthbrooder...breeding is not difficuit....but challenge is on stripping the females for the fries...if not, female will usually ate their own eggs or fries out of stress. every brood only got between 6-10pcs fries...not like apistos who got around 30-100+pcs fries.

The frist few days i saw the male do some kind of "digging" trying to lurk the female into the breeding ritual ... very interesting....
