Breeding Information

Breeding Amapá Red-Backed Angelfish in captivity is achievable if the right conditions are provided. They form strong pair bonds, and once a pair is established, they will lay eggs on a flat surface, such as a leaf or rock. The male fertilizes the eggs, and both parents guard them diligently. The eggs will hatch in 2–3 days, and the fry can be fed with infusoria or finely crushed flakes until they are large enough to accept regular foods.
