Parrot fish can be distinguished from male and female by color. Generally, the color of male parrot fish is brighter than that of female parrot fish. Secondly, judging from the shape, the dorsal fin and anal fin of male parrot fish are relatively long, and some are longer than the caudal fin. Female parrot fish have short dorsal and anal fins. The male has fewer protruding parts of the genitals, while the female has a larger and more prominent gonopore. Finally, you can also look at the character, the character of the male fish is more ferocious, the female fish is relatively quiet.
How to divide parrot fish into male and female, and how to breed

1. How to distinguish between male and female

parrot fish? It is difficult to distinguish between male and female parrot fish in the juvenile stage. It is easier to distinguish between male and female parrot fish only after adulthood. The breeder can judge according to the following points:

1. Body color: The body color of male parrot fish will be red, and the body color of female parrot fish will be slightly darker. Moreover, the female parrot fish is easy to fade or turn white, and the breeder can see the difference by careful observation.

2. Appearance: First of all, the dorsal and anal fins of male parrot fish are pointed and long, and some of them are longer than the caudal fin. The female parrot fish has a relatively short dorsal and anal fin. Secondly, look at the genital pore, the female fish's genital pore is relatively large, and more obvious, the male fish's genital protruding part is very few, it is difficult to find without careful observation. Finally, look at the belly, generally the belly of the male fish is flat, the belly of the female fish is round, especially in the breeding season, it will be very obvious.

3. Personality: The male parrot fish has a fierce and aggressive personality and looks lively. Female parrot fish, on the other hand, seem to be relatively quiet, although they also fight, but not as often as male fish.

2. How to breed

parrot fish? First of all, parrot fish of the same kind can not breed, so after the mother fish is in heat, it is necessary to find other species of fish to breed. When parrot fish reproduce, the male usually ejaculates first, and then the female ejaculates eggs in the sperm, thus becoming fertilized eggs. The fertilization rate and hatching rate of this breeding method are relatively low, and breeders can take more care of the fertilized eggs to improve the hatching rate.
