Like other Lentipes species, they have an amphidromous life cycle, meaning their larvae drift downstream into the ocean before returning to freshwater as juveniles. This unusual reproductive strategy makes them extremely challenging to breed in home aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mastah Betta","offers":[{"title":"1”","offer_id":67681793507628,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8947\/4092\/files\/I_will_tell_you_the_name_of_a__73997_Nano_Banana_2.png?v=1793099757","url":"https:\/\/mastahbetta.com\/products\/blue-belly-red-goby","provider":"Mastah Betta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
