| SEXING |
|
The sexual difference can only be told from the genital papilla in fish that are ready to mate. Females are usually larger than males, which goes for all Julidochromis species.
|
|
|
| BREEDING |
|
Breeding is easy once you have a harmonizing pair, which does not always result from keeping a male and a female. If the fish do not harmonize, remove the weaker fish and replace it with another one; otherwise, it will someday be killed. Lake Tanganyika fish retailers usually know about this problem and replace the fish with another if the 'pair' does not harmonize.
