Paired females showed higher GSI values and larger oocytes in their ovaries than solitary females (Ref. 45232). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Previously thought that care of the eggs and young is done by mouthbrooding solitary males (Ref. 45232); new findings describe the genus Lophiobagrus to be hiding its brood in caves (Ref. 89712).
