Hello everyone!

This morning I saw my Platydoras Armatulus showing signs of what I interpret as breeding behaviour. Just like Corydoras the males were chasing a female back and forth troughout the aquarium. The males were trying to get underneth the female to push here upwards. I maneged to capture a short clip of this behaviour and they kept going for hours before the aquarium lights turned on.

I know that these guys are difficult to breed in captivity but does anyone have any tips on what I can try, to make them spawn? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It does look like the real thing indeed

Whish I could help you

I agree, that does look like the real thing. I know almost nothing about their spawning. Don't they scatter eggs in grassy planted areas? If so, would a spawning mop help?

Good luck, Eric

Thanks for all of the replies! I will do an update if something new happens
