I recently bought several Anomala. I put them in a 20 long, ph 6.0, temp 80 degrees. The tank is heavily planted and has 8 white clouds and 8 c. habrosus. There are slate platforms under the plants, a large concave piece of driftwood, and a whole coconut shell cut to create a cave. I use an aquaclear canister filter. The water flow from the filter is very low. I feed them daphnia, tubifex, frozen and live brine shrimp. I have had these fish for a month. They will not spawn. As a matter of fact the male beats the he** out of the others so much that I removed them and left one female in the tank. He seeks her out and chases her around the tank. Are all Anomalas this cantankerous?
