After searching for you for a while, the best information I could find is from badmanstropicalfish.com, and it says, "Not a lot is known of their breeding and it probably can only be accomplished in Brackish water. During courtship the pair will swim around each other just above the bottom of the tank. Pale clear eggs are laid tightly packed on rock surfaces. The male will protect the brood and uses his body to cover the eggs. The eggs hatch in about a week and the male will transfer the tadpole like fry to shallow pits and continue to guard them. The fry can be hard to raise and feeding them can be difficult, you should try a variety of small food including Brine shrimp nauplii and observe which type they are eating. The mortality rate on the spawn is usually high."

I should add that the water quality should be at its best during the time you are breeding and when you have fry.

Hope this helps a little. There's not really a lot of information out there on breeding GSPs because it's difficult and sometimes non-existent.
