The treasure lotus lantern fish belongs to the smaller fish. Usually, the smaller the fish, the faster its growth and development. The Baolian lantern fish is no exception. Among small fish, it is a fish with a relatively short growth period. Generally speaking, it takes only 6 to 8 months from birth to stop growing. By the sixth month, the fish's body length has basically stabilized. However, the growth of fish is also related to temperature. At suitable temperature, the activity of fish is higher and the growth rate is faster. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will lead to slow growth of fish. Only when the temperature is between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, can the fish grow rapidly.
The development speed of the lantern fish is very fast, usually entering the sexual maturity period at 6 to 8 months. Once a fish reaches sexual maturity, it stops growing. At this time, the body length of the fish is generally about 5 centimeters. Therefore, the time it takes to grow to 5 centimeters is basically the same as the time for sexual function to mature. In general, the lantern fish will enter the sexual maturity period at 6 to 8 months. However, this time is not fixed, usually related to temperature. On the premise of suitable temperature, fish can mature sexually at the age of 6 months, and their body length will reach 5 centimeters. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will delay the development of fish, but it will not exceed 8 months.
