Badis badis
(Dwarf Chameleon Fish)
Badis badis
| HABITS |
|
These fish are not so commonly seen in your local aquarium store. However, they are a peaceful fish, unlike others in their family. These fish enjoy lots of cover, such as hardy plants and bog wood. Since it is a shy fish, it will hide quite a bit of the time. They are good general mixers, but as they grow to around 3 inches, it is better not to keep them with young or very small fish.

| BREEDING |
|
When kept by themselves in a small aquarium, they breed readily. A rock or leaf surface (or even the inside of a flowerpot, if one has been provided) will be cleaned scrupulously by the male. The female is then coaxed to the spot and if she is ready to spawn, she will.
