This may well be the first Madagascar cichlid to successfully spawn in Vietnam. A big hope — the answer will come in another 5–6 days, when the eggs hatch.
Madagascar’s freshwater fish are in critical condition across the board: habitat change, invasive species, construction, overfishing (the local people are very poor).
Species scientific name: Ptychochromis oligacanthus.
Common name: none yet — the species is not popular in the aquarium trade.
Maximum size: 25cm.
