? Parrot fish usually breed once every 7-10 days. If the water temperature can reach 28 degrees and the water quality can be kept weakly acidic for a long time, parrot fish may lay eggs once every 5-7 days. If the water temperature is below 25 degrees and the water is muddy, the parrot fish may lay eggs once every 10-15 days.
When parrot fish lay eggs, the eggs cannot hatch without fertilization by males of other species. Because parrot fish are hybrids, male parrot fish are not born with the ability to reproduce. Therefore, if there are only parrot fish in the fish tank, the eggs can be fished out and thrown away as soon as possible after spawning to avoid polluting the water quality. If the eggs are fertilized by males of other species, the breeder can observe them every 2-3 days to see if the eggs are fertilized. If there is fertilization, you can find a new container to try to hatch.
before parrot fish breeding? Female parrot fish will have a larger abdomen and prominent genitals before spawning. Moreover, they will not like to swim, do not fit in, do not eat, and have a more irritable personality. Before laying eggs, the female fish will choose a good egg bed, such as pebbles at the bottom of the tank or beside the water plants. If the parrot fish is found to be cleaning the bottom of the tank with its mouth and not allowing other fish to approach, it is likely that ovulation is imminent.
