:Water with a neutral pH, with the temperature being in the low 80's is ideal. The male will build a bubble nest, often with vegitation, and court a female under it. When this happens, the male will wrap himself around the female, causing her to release her eggs. Up to 2000 eggs can be produced per spawn. When eggs hatch, feed the young live baby brine shrimp, or daphnia. | :Water with a neutral pH, with the temperature being in the low 80's is ideal.
