The male will develop a yellow breast and a thin yellow stripe down the body. The dorsal fin will be more elongated than in the female.

Breeding

A heavily planted tank is required for breeding, plenty of Java moss or spawning mops should also be added. The pair will normally spawn in the early morning, laying a few eggs over the period of the breeding season. Once laying is complete the parents should be separated from the eggs. After 2 weeks, the eggs should hatch and once the fry are free swimming they can be fed on Infusoria or crushed flake.

The expected life span for Pseudomugil connieae is 10 years.

Short description

A heavily planted tank is required for Pseudomugil connieae with plenty of hiding places, the addition of floating plants will also make them at ease.
