The splash tetra exhibits remarkable behavior during its egg-laying process. The male fish selects a suitable leaf by jumping out of the water, ensuring it is well-protected and close to the water. Once a female appears, they synchronize their movements to lay eggs on the leaf. The male then keeps the eggs wet by splashing water until they hatch, which is why they are called splash tetra.
