2,740 g; Two types of spawning behavior have been observed. In one, the female slowly swims along the side of the streams, spawning, while the male stays close behind fertilizing the eggs. In the other type, the male digs a small hollow in the gravel of the substrates into which the female deposits the eggs as they are being fertilized by the male. The female continues to lay eggs in different parts of the streams over a period of few weeks. |
