 This behaviour has several ramifications for captive reproduction, as will be duly noted.When ripe females are receptive, males will court them, after a chase sequence through aquatic foliage in which several males may pursue an individual female, breaking off to pursue a different female as the opportunity arises, resulting in the aquarium in mad dashes hither and thither.Eventually, close observation will see a male court a female in some secluded area of aquatic foliage.
