I have an article on spawning these fish by Franke in an old issue of TFH. Since I know he spawned a number of fish using hormone injections (and I'm not sure if it included this one), let me check it and get back to you.

As with other Franke spawnings, this one is hormone-induced, I'm afraid.

If it's of any help, here's the setup he used:
Plenty of floating plants and driftwood in the tank, pH 7.0, dH 31Â°, temperature 27.8Â°C.
They spawned at night, and can only be seen under very weak illumination (when he increased, the light, they immediately stopped spawning and went under shelter).
