Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
Mouth brooder with maternal parental care. Male defends territories throughout the depth range down to 6 m, but territorial densities are higher at 2-4 m depth. Brooding female also defends small territories around a cave between rock boulders at various water depths.
