Copella nattereri, known for its unique spawning behavior, exhibits fascinating aerial egg-laying habits where it jumps out of the water to attach eggs to overhanging leaves. Ensuring ample space and suitable aquatic vegetation or overhanging structures can encourage this natural behavior. Best kept in groups, they are relatively peaceful and can be housed with other non-aggressive species.
