It can be bred in the usual Characin fashion but the number of young produced is likely to be small. A simpler method is to place three or four females with two males in a well-planted tank or a tank containing a fair amount of some artifical spawning medium, and feed them well. The tank will soon be seen to contain many (50 to 100) young fry in various stages of development. Either the adults can now be moved to a fresh tank or the fry ladled out and reared elsewhere.
