The species can tolerate water up to 20 degrees DH, though it does better in softer water. A temperature of 22–26 °C (72–79 °F) and a pH of between 5.0 and 7.5 and a hardness of between 36 and 268ppm is suitable. adult male are more colorful and tend to grow faster than females. males also develops extended white-tipped dorsal, ventral, caudal and anal fins which females lack. it is an egg scattered exhibiting no parental care, and one method of breeding is apparently to keep a group of adults in their own aquarium furnished with a kind of artificial trap, checking it regularly as much as possible especially for eggs. these are removed and normally hatched in smaller containers with the fry being offered microscopic foods until large enough to accept daphnia, bloostorm and the rest.
