Breeding
Over the years many efforts have been made to breed this rapidly depleting species in captivity with limited success. Recent (2009) success has come from the work carried out at the Fisheries College, Kerala by Dr.T.V Anna Mercy. Equally if not more important breeding efforts have been carried out by the Chester Zoo and two amateur fish-lovers from Chennai- Mr. Venkatesh and Murali (as reported by The Hindu in October 2008). These efforts would pave the way for standardizing the process and would be a major boost to conservation and ornamental fish trade in India.
