The male builds a bubble nest, entices the female to follow him by nipping and displaying his finnage. The male wraps his body around the female, turning her upside down and squeezing her until the eggs fall from her ovipositor, he fertilizes them as they fall.
The male then collects the eggs to put into the nest where he tends to them. They will wrap or embrace for a few hours and then the male will chase the female away.
The male will care for the eggs until a few days after hatch and once the fry can swim properly they are left to fend for themselves.
