| Breeding | ||||||||||
| Behaviour | At first one of the females started to swim up and down the glass. After a while the males started to follow her. This was followed by the typical T-position and the female deposited the eggs in and around a cryptocoryne. I left the eggs in the tank and the parents seem to leave the eggs alone. | |||||||||
