Both male and female of this substrate breeding species participate in care of the spawn. Both take turns at fanning and sucking the eggs. After two days, the parent fish remove the eggs from the ground and place them in a cleft, where the larvae then hatch. When most of the yolk supply has been consumed, the young start moving around. As soon as the young can swim properly they disperse over the whole tank; the parents remain in the middle of the shoal of young and swim slowly around.
