Breeding & Spawning: The Serpae High-Fin Tetra has been bred in captivity. They are egg layers and easily bred, making them ideal candidates for the beginning aquarist interested in a breeding project. They reach a breeding age at about 8 to 10 months of age. However these are egg scattering spawners that exhibit no parental care. It is best to set up a dedicated breeding tank and remove the parents immediately after spawning or they will eat the eggs.

Gender: Males are more brightly colored than females, and their dorsal fin is almost solid black. Females lack color in the lower part of the fin. Also, females are fuller-bodied.
