Not bred in home aquariums: there are no reports of breeding in private tanks. Some loaches are mass-produced with hormones, but this is not documented for this species.
Keep a group of 6+.
Farms use hormones. Home spawns are very rare.
Hormone induction; seasonal cues.
Eggs hatch in 1-2 days on farms.
Infusoria first, then brine shrimp.
Mature females are usually fuller-bodied than males.
