    Technically yes but from what I've heard it isn't easy and that's why they aren't commercially bred in the US.

    I've had problems with "easy breeders" before too. People always told me how easy one fish was to breed. I went out and got some and they never did. Cichlids, Endlers, and Guppies are the only thing I've kept that I was able to get to spawn.
