These fish breed quite easily in my 120 cm tank. They become very aggressive wilst breeding and defend off any fish from their nest/cave. Females hold up to 3 weeks and the release their fry within a rocky area
Our Maingano was one of the first fish that we introduced to our aquarium. He does not hurt the other fish, but you can tell that he rules the tank with an iron fist. He swims at the entrance of the cave and will not let the algae eaters out. If they manage to sneak out, he quickly herds them back into their cave.
