Reproduction

It is a layer in bubble nest. In a shallow and filtration -free tank, we put the male which makes a floating nest then attracts the female (which we introduce later) and enclose it to help expel the eggs which he fertilizes and places in the nest. As soon as the female has finished laying, it must be removed because the male would attack her violently. After 24 hours, the eggs hatch, it is then necessary to remove the father and start feeding with very fine food.
