Hi there.

I have an adult spawning pair of Pteragon kauderni. They are great fish to watch. The male holds the eggs in his mouth after the female releases them and male fertilizes. She actually coaxes him to gobble them up and hold them.

I have had a successful rearing of 24 babies, however, as they age and as they were in the same tank they turned and killed eachother.

They are cannibalistic amongst their own kind.

Best,
Ilham
