This species seems not to difficult in reproduction and need only some extra attention during the first days as they need very small food as just hatched artemia or infusoria.

The way they spawn is, as most annual species do, by diving completely into the substratum.

This is best placed in a small jar or drinking glass at the bottom, filled with peat moss from at least the depth of the body length of the fishes.

After 5-6 weeks the fishes are capable to produce there first eggs if food was given sufficiently.
