Breeding
There are currently no reports of the captive breeding of this species, although it can be assumed that the process will be similar to that of other tetras. A separate softwater (pH 5.5-6.0, dH <4 degrees) aquarium is recommended (peat filtration suggested) and the tank should be furnished with plenty of fine-leaved plants for the eggs to be scattered amongst.
