Observations in aquaria indicate this species is a monogamous, pair bonding biparental ovophilic mouthbrooder. Eggs are deposited on a hard layer (rocks, wood) or leaves. After the entire clutch is deposited, eggs are incubated by the female for the first 2 or 3 days, after this periodical changes of incubation between female and male are possible, but normally the female is more dominantly involved. Total hatching of eggs and larvae is for 12-14 days in the buccal cavity of the parents.</paragraph>
