Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturities | पुनरुत्पत्ति | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | लार्वा
After the male has fertilized the eggs the female mouthbroods them for 12 days after which they are transferred to the male for an additional 18-20 days of mouthbrooding (Ref. 2060). In one study, larvae of up to 0.99 cm TL are mouthbrooded by female parents 6.8 to 7.5 cm SL in size (Ref. 86760).
