Captive aquarium account, European hobby context

Diagnostic evidence and naming

First-person article published 14 May 2009 describes obtaining 3 mature wild-caught L025 in 2008; male guarding eggs in a cave, egg disturbance from cichlid tankmates, and significant losses after experimental artificial incubation. The author is not established as species discoverer or original founder.

Breeding and genetics limitations

He describes 1,600-L broodstock tank, major water changes after a pollution incident, difficult egg rescue and water-quality failures. Unsafe emergency conditions are historical context, never deliberate spawning instructions. Survival was not uniform.
