Rarely bred in aquaria and poorly documented; it is presumed to be a seasonal spawner in nature.
Keep a group of 6+ in a mature tank. Females look plump when full.
A planted tank with soft acidic water and leaf litter. Spawns are mostly noticed by chance.
Rain-season style changes: cooler water and soft water may trigger spawns.
Small clutches of green eggs in plants. Hatch in about 1-2 days.
Feed infusoria and microworms. Fry are very hard to see.
Adult females are a little larger and heavier-bodied (plump when carrying eggs). In mature males the first pectoral-fin ray is branched and thickened.
