Removable nylon mops are commonly used as a spawning medium for these fish.

Eggs can be removed from mops and stored in shallow water in dishes, where they hatch in two to four weeks.

Females do not have the fin extensions of the males, and are a duller brown.

This species prefers middle and lower water layers in tanks with soft, acid water.
