In aquaria, this species is a monogamous, pair bonding cave-spawner (Ref. 119364). Eggs are guarded by both sexes, but always more intensively and more often by the female; hatching occurs after three days post-spawn; larvae are usually deposited on the bottom of the cave, rarely in other caves nearby the original cave; juveniles are free swimming eight or nine days post-hatching and guarded by both parents for about five to six weeks; breeding and guarding individuals of both sexes regularly exhibit a more prominent midlateral black stripe (Ref. 119364).
