Breeding: There is little information on this species’ breeding habits. It most likely breeds in a similar fashion to Anostomus anostomus. You might consider increasing the temperature slightly and covering the aquarium with a towel – this will keep the temperature up and hopefully trigger spawning. Take the parents from the tank once the deed has been done: they have a tendency to eat the eggs.
Comments: You should provide this species with at least a 50 gallon tank. You can choose to decorate your tank with driftwood, rocks and roots.
