Re: Taeniacara candidi

Taeniacara candidi is a very charming little fish. I prefer to use
very soft water about 30 microsiemens less then 1DH and very acidic Ph
4.5. It is important to  use a whole lot of cover like floating plants
and java moss to decrease their shyness and make them feel more
secure. The male is very aggresive when courting so I reccomend using
a larger tank if possable although i use 10 and 5 gallon tanks with
succes as long as they are densely planted. The female makes an
excellent mother and she moves up and down like a see saw to call her
young. One of the best part about these little guy is that they can be
sexualy mature in as little as 4 months so you can go through a few
generations in one year. Good luck.
