Females seem to scatter eggs across the bottom( spawing grass or a grate or
marbles). They are egg eaters so more than one per tank results in
guaranteed los of fry. I have had a few survive in my original set up. If
you get a male let me know they are rare! These are hermaphrodites. (That's
the only reason I keep them around.) I have six species of rivulus but these
have poven to be the most challenging.
