Fry Care

These fish prefer to spawn in dimly lit aquariums and will lay their eggs around the tank. There are several different methods. In a heavily planted aquarium, no intervention is needed. To maximize fry survival, using spawning mops, dense vegetation, or mesh that the eggs can fall through and removing the adults is recommended.
