The lantern fish will reproduce itself. Their gonads mature at six months of age, but reproduction starts at eight months of age. They have higher requirements for the breeding environment, if the environment is not up to standard, they can not breed. They are more likely to reproduce in soft water with a water temperature of 28 C and a PH between 5.6 and 6.8. When breeding, put the fish tank in a low-light place. This is more conducive to their reproduction.
Can the red and green light fish reproduce by itself? How old can it give birth to small fish?

1. Will the red and green light fish reproduce

by itself. They have a high demand for water quality, and they will not breed when the environment is not suitable. They have high requirements for water temperature, water quality, light and PH value. First of all, the temperature should not be too high, nor too low, at about 28 degrees Celsius is the best. Second, they like to live in soft water. Therefore, tap water can not meet their needs, when in the breeding season, they need to be placed in distilled soft water. Then, the best pH for survival is 5.6-6.8, so keep the pH of the water between that. Finally, during the breeding season, they should be placed in a corner with weak light, because they do not like to be disturbed during the breeding season, and they are also less courageous. Therefore, during this period, we should not only ensure the quiet environment, but also cover the fish tank with cloth to reduce the light.

2. How long can the red and green lantern fish give birth to small fish

? Compared with other kinds of small fish, the gonads of the red and green lantern fish mature later, usually about six months before they mature. Newly mature fish are not suitable as parent fish. When they are eight months old, their reproductive capacity will be more perfect. At this time, they can be used as parent fish to breed and get better fry. They can lay eggs many times a year, about five or six times a year, with hundreds of eggs at a time. When they give birth to small fish, they need to be kept separately from the small fish, because the big fish may eat their young.
