Breeding
Inserisco degli articoli su questa specie dove vengono descritti due particolari sulla sua riproduzione:
"Rarely achieved in aquaria and little information is available, although it is being produced in some numbers on Far Eastern fish farms. As it's thought to be a seasonal spawner in nature, simulation of the rainy season may induce it to breed. Try lowering the temperature by a few degrees and perform large daily water changes with soft water, whilst feeding the fish lots of live foods."

"The only breeding report that I could unearth was from a 1980 article in "The Aquarist and Pondkeeper", on Kryptopterus bicirrhis which may have been K. minor from a D. C. Powell who went on to say and I quote: "We do not whether the species is an egglayer or livebearer. Two young fish which suddenly appeared in our tank were raised on infusoria and then Daphnia. A little salt was added to the water" You can be sure that it is an egglayer, it may even be an egg scatterer."
