Spawning notes:
Species Spawned: Yes
Easy to spawn like most rainbowfish. Keep adult group in a tank with lots of spawning mops or java moss. Remove adults and in a few days you will start to see tiny fry at the top of the water.
Have Reared Fry? Yes
Very small, so feed with microscopic foods (greed water, vinegar eels, etc) for the first week.
