| Breeding |
Very soft water, and a temp of 75°F is used to encourage
spawning. Use dim lighting during spawning. The female will lay eggs
on a flat surface. These fish spawn best in the evening, laying up
to 500 eggs. After the eggs have been laid remove the adults from
the tank. Turn off the tank lights and possibly even cover the tank
to eliminate light on the eggs. This will lower the chance of fungus
on the eggs. The fry will hatch after 24 hours and are free-swimming
within five days. |

flakes or small live foods like brine shrimp |
