 The judicious use of a low-power flashlight to observe spawning may be helpful in determining if eggs are actually being produced.The species is not noted as a particularly egregious egg eater (unlike, for example, the lemon tetra—see that article for notes on egg-eating behaviour in characins) but it is still advisable to remove the parents once spawning is completed.At this stage, antifungal agents to protect the eggs should be added, and indeed are vital in the case of this difficult, sensitive species.
