The lucky fish usually begin to reproduce when they are about 8 months old, which is their sexual maturity period. They need to keep the surrounding environment suitable so that they can reproduce normally. One of the more important factors is the water temperature, which needs to be kept between 27-29 degrees. Moreover, they can reproduce many times a year, as long as the environment is suitable, they can lay eggs for the second time half a month to twenty days after the first spawning.
1. Selection of parent fish: In the breeding season, they basically will not breed successfully in the fish tank, so put the selected female fish and male fish in a separate container and let them breed. The number of parent fish placed should not be too large, and those with good appearance, high activity and healthy constitution should be selected as parent fish. The number of male fish can be slightly more than that of female fish, which can be distinguished by their color characteristics, the color of male fish is better than that of female fish, and the color of female fish is darker.
2. Insemination and incubation: Lucky fish can find their own mates. Keep the water temperature between 27 and 29 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature, so that the female fish will lay eggs after fertilization. The male fish will spit a lot of foam on the surface of the water and then get the fertilized eggs into it to hatch. Female fish can spawn more times a year, the number of eggs is also more, reproductive offspring is relatively easy to succeed.
3. Culture of small fish: After successful hatching, the parent fish and the small fish can be cultured separately. At the beginning, adjust the water temperature to 22-26 degrees, and do not feed at this time. After about three or four days, you can start feeding.
