The excrement will turn white and will be connected to the anus. Finally, there will be abdominal swelling.

3, to spawn: If the fish to spawn, there will be abdominal swelling, and fetal spots often become very obvious. At this time, if the fish have been paired, they can complete reproduction in the tank, if not paired, the eggs produced can not be fertilized, will soon decay, resulting in water pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to put some false aquatic plants before laying eggs to facilitate the attachment of eggs, and then clean them out.
