When selecting a pair, look for two fish trying to stay close to each other, once two fish have paired off this is normal behaviour. Mature males are slightly bigger and have a taller dorsal fin. Condition adults by feeding live foods. Place a pair in a separate breeding tank. After elaberate courtship where both fish will spread their fins, aprox 200 eggs will be laid. Eggs take 3 days to hatch, fry will be free swimming 3 or 4 days later. Feed fry on infusoria and newly hatched brine shrimp. Parents will both share the rearing of the fry.Medium SPECIAL OFFER!2 FOR
