Description
Rather
peaceful fish except during spawning. Can be slightly aggressive
towards conspecies. In the wild, these fish are found in tea-coloured
water where there are abundance decaying vegetation. A
high aquarium tank will benefit these fish better due to their oval
shaped body.
To
get a pair, it is generally easier to get a group of young fish and
raise them to maturity. A male and female would pair off and
300-400 eggs can be laid in each spawn. Commercially available cone-shaped
breeding aids (used for Discus) can also be used.
Uraus are very good
parents and provide excellent parental care to their brood.
