Individuals become sexually mature at approximately one year of age (Talwar and Jhingran 1991). Where populations are established, walking catfish exhibit rainy season mass migration and spawning events. Adhesive egg masses containing as many as 1,000 eggs are laid in nesting hollows prepared by the breeding pair. Egg masses are found on on aquatic vegetation or within other suitable nest sites. They are guarded by the males until they hatch (Courtenay et al. 1974, Hensley and Courtenay 1980). The female, leaving care of the eggs to the male, guards the area around the nest.

Walking catfish typically attain a standard length of 225-300 mm, although animals twice that size are encountered (Courtenay and Miley 1975; Hensley and Courtenay 1980).

Embryonic development within the egg is rapid. Embryos hatch out in approximately 30 hours at 25°C. For the first two days after hatching, parents still remain by the nest to protect the fry. At this stage, the fry are egg-sac larvae that do not yet feed, but instead live off of energy reserves stored in the yolk sac for the first two to three days after hatching (Rao et al. 1995). When the free-swimming young have consumed the remaining yolk reserves, they begin to forage for themselves.
