They are livebearers. The male will chase the female (often incessantly; keep at least two females per male to prevent excessive stress). His anal fin is modified into an organ to internally fertilise the female. His sperm fertilises eggs that develop inside her. Approximately once a month she gives birth to between 10 and 80 live fry.
