Female collects the eggs almost immediately after laying a batch and incubates eggs in her mouth for 12-14 days at 26°C, releasing the young after which. Parent guards the young for 5-7 days, keeping them into her mouth when approached by predators or divers. Ribbink, A.J. 1990 Alternative life-history styles of some African cichlid fishes. Environ.
