How do you breed them?
Place a male into a tank on his own, when he is in condition he will build a bubble nest. Next introduce a well condtioned female. The male will embrace the female under the nest. As each egg is laid and fertilized he will blow a bubble around it and put it in the bubble nest. When spawning is finished remove the female and the male will tend the nest.
