In order to breed them, it is recommended to add more aquatic plants to the aquarium, as this will solve the problem of securing a spawning site and a hiding place.If you can confirm that they have spawned, you should move them to another aquarium. After hatching, feed the fry. Since it is necessary to feed the fry as small as possible, many people feed them microorganisms called infusoria. However, if you feed too much, it may cause deterioration of the water quality, so feed a little at a time.
