Copella callolepis is well-known for its unique breeding behavior, which involves jumping out of the water to deposit eggs on plants above the waterline. They are peaceful fish, suitable for community aquariums, but should be kept with similar-sized species to prevent bullying. The tank should be densely planted to accommodate their natural behavior and provide hiding spaces.
