Bujurquina moriorum
Peruvian Mouthbrooder
Bujurquina moriorum is known for its unique behavior of mouthbrooding, where the female carries the eggs and fry in her mouth for protection. This species prefers a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spaces.
They are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive species, though they may become territorial during breeding. Regular water changes are vital to maintain water quality.
Diet should consist of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods.
