Bacterial Infections (general). Bacterial diseases

The female holds 2-4 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. Only then the female swims to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The pair repeats this process until about 100 eggs have been fertilized and attached (Ref. 1672). However, it is also believed that this species only lays a single egg (Ref. 1672).

Lives among plants. Forms small schools (Ref. 26041). Found in ponds (Ref. 11229).
