| The Elongatus Gold Bar is best kept in a tank where the tank mates can defend themselves, due to the fact these guys tend to be very aggressive. They can also be confused with the Pseudotropheus Minutus which is similar but a little bit more mellower and are less aggressive compared to the Elongatus. This is a great fish to keep especially the males who have great coloration during breeding or when his protecting his territory. | |
