Personally no, but I imagine it would the same as for any other Hypancistrus. There have been people post on this board who do breed them though

yeh, since the fish is more expansive tha most, i figured that it was difficult to breed them.

Queen Arabesques have been spawned numerous times in captivity. If you do a search for my name and L260 at Planet Catfish you can find all the relevant details for how I got started doing it and what I use and all that. Here's a picture of dad with some of the fry at day 10 after hatching.
