The male fish has delicate tiny hooklets on its anal fin, which it uses as part of the mating process.

| BREEDING |
|
To breed these fish, prepare a 40 litre aquarium with a layer of marbles about 4 marbles deep on the bottom. Pour in water from the tank in which they were kept. Add fresh tap water to the tank until it comes to about 15 cm above the marbles. These fish lay between 700-800 eggs, which would be quickly eaten, without the marbles to serve as protection for them.
